West Side Collisions in Albuquerque
The intersection of Irving Blvd NW and Coors Blvd NW serves as a critical juncture for commuters in northwest Albuquerque. With nearby residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, and access to major roadways, this area sees heavy traffic throughout the day—especially during the morning rush.
Tuesday morning’s injury crash highlights the risks that come with increased vehicle volume at intersections like this.

West side corridors like Coors Blvd are known for congestion and frequent accident reports, particularly at intersections with high-speed approaches and limited visibility. Factors such as driver inattention, sudden lane changes, and failure to yield often play a role in these incidents.
Improving safety on Albuquerque’s west side requires a combination of engineering improvements, driver education, and targeted enforcement. Left-turn signals, speed limit enforcement, and clearer lane markings can make a significant difference at intersections like Irving and Coors. But most critically, drivers must remain alert and patient, especially during high-traffic hours.
