Albuquerque, NM (August 12, 2025) – An injury crash was reported on Monday afternoon along Isleta Blvd SW in Albuquerque’s South Valley, triggering a response from multiple emergency crews. The incident occurred around 2:53 p.m. and involved at least one injured person, according to Albuquerque-Bernalillo County-Rio Rancho Fire and Rescue.
Engine 34 and Rescue 34 were dispatched following a “29 Bravo 1” designation, a medical classification for motor vehicle accidents with injuries. The crash was located within Firebox 34’s zone, an area that includes several high-traffic segments of Isleta Blvd, a heavily traveled arterial road connecting neighborhoods and commercial areas in southwest Albuquerque.
Initial reports suggested that one of the individuals involved might be transported by personal vehicle, prompting an adjustment in response coordination. Despite the change, emergency crews remained on scene to assist others impacted and assess the need for further medical treatment or traffic control.
The exact cause of the crash and the number of vehicles involved have not yet been confirmed. Given the time of day, traffic was likely moderate to heavy, increasing the potential for incidents related to lane merging, sudden braking, or distracted driving.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, and no updates have been released on the conditions of those injured.
We extend our best wishes to all those affected by the crash and hope for a full recovery.
