ALBUQUERQUE, NM – According to KOB, a man faces up to 15 years in prison for a fatal DWI crash that occurred on I-25 SB near Osuna Rd NE on Nov. 1, 2023.
Alex Tafoya was driving a tan Lexus SUV at high speeds when he slammed into the rear of a black Cadillac around 2:15 a.m.
First responders transported the woman driving the Cadillac to an area hospital, where she died.
Following the collision, Tafoya allegedly fled the scene. Authorities located the Tafoya and returned him to the scene. They determined Tafoya was impaired and found open containers in his vehicle. Tafoya had two prior DWI arrests.
Authorities initially charged Tafoya with great bodily harm by vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident with great bodily harm, and having open containers.
