Albuquerque, NM (August 27, 2025) – Emergency responders were dispatched Monday afternoon to a motor vehicle accident with injuries on I-25 northbound near Marty Dr in Albuquerque. The crash was reported around 4:32 p.m. and resulted in multiple rescue units being sent to the scene.
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County-Rio Rancho Fire/Rescue assigned Engine 1, Engine 2, Rescue 1, and Rescue 2 to the response after receiving a “29 Bravo 1” alert—signaling a traffic accident with confirmed injuries. Initial communication from dispatch noted limited police unit availability, but fire and medical teams moved quickly to provide care to those involved.
While specific details on the number of vehicles or extent of injuries have not yet been made public, the presence of multiple responding units indicates the crash involved several parties and required substantial on-scene support. Traffic on I-25 northbound was affected as emergency crews worked to evaluate victims, stabilize the crash site, and restore safe traffic flow.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation. Officials are examining whether congestion, driver behavior, or environmental conditions contributed to the incident during the busy afternoon travel window.
We send our sincere wishes for recovery to those injured in Monday’s crash.
Highway Collisions in New Mexico
Crashes along I-25—particularly near urban exits like Marty Dr—highlight the challenges faced by both commuters and emergency services on New Mexico’s most heavily traveled highways. I-25 cuts through central Albuquerque and serves as a major route for local, regional, and interstate traffic. Accidents in this corridor can result in serious injuries due to high travel speeds and tightly packed vehicles.
Monday’s incident occurred during late afternoon hours when traffic density peaks. Vehicles frequently merge, change lanes, and exit quickly, increasing the potential for rear-end and side-impact collisions. When multiple rescue units respond, it often means that injuries are moderate to severe, and the scene presents logistical challenges such as blocked lanes or hazardous debris.
“29 Bravo 1” injury designations confirm that medical attention was required. In many such cases, those injured may not feel immediate symptoms—especially in high-adrenaline situations. However, whiplash, spinal trauma, and concussions are common and can worsen without timely treatment.
The I-25 corridor has long been the focus of traffic safety discussions in Albuquerque. Efforts to reduce accidents through signage, speed enforcement, and lane improvements continue, but driver awareness remains a critical factor in preventing these incidents.
