Albuquerque, NM (September 11, 2025) – A complex traffic incident involving both injuries and a possible weapon was reported Wednesday afternoon near Rio Bravo Blvd SE and Interstate 25. The crash occurred around 5:10 p.m., drawing an escalated emergency response due to the added concern of a weapon at the scene.
Units from District 38 and Rescue 3 were dispatched to the area after reports indicated a “29 Bravo weapons” designation, meaning the vehicle accident involved injuries and possible weapon-related concerns. The incident took place in Firebox 38’s jurisdiction, near a high-traffic corridor just north of the I-25/Rio Bravo interchange.
Emergency responders treated injured individuals at the scene, though authorities have not yet confirmed how many people were involved or the severity of the injuries. Due to the mention of a weapon, law enforcement likely coordinated with medical teams to ensure scene safety before initiating further care.
The intersection of Rio Bravo Blvd SE and I-25 serves as a major southbound connector, and the incident likely caused temporary delays and congestion. Given the complexity of the situation, traffic was rerouted or slowed while responders assessed both the medical and safety aspects of the crash.
Investigators are actively looking into the cause of the crash and the circumstances surrounding the reported weapon. No official statements have been made regarding the presence of a firearm or other weapon, but authorities are treating the situation with appropriate caution.
Our thoughts are with those injured, and we hope for their full and safe recovery as more information becomes available.
