"ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - One person is dead and another is recovering at UNM Hospital after a head-on crash that shut down a major Albuquerque street Friday afternoon.
Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies reported (censored), 74, was driving north in his Hyundai Sonata when he clipped the rear of a Mustang in front of him on Broadway Boulevard SE at Murray Road.
Garcia then spun out of control and into oncoming traffic hitting a southbound Chevrolet Tahoe headed south.
Garcia died at the scene, and the other driver, whose name has not been released, suffered what deputies called severe injuries.
The driver of the Mustang was not injured.
The crash happened about 3 p.m., and at 8 p.m. the Tahoe driver was reported to be in surgery at UNMH.
Broadway south of Rio Bravo Boulevard was closed for about three hours.
Deputies said there was no sign of drug or alcohol use by Garcia although their investigation is not yet closed."
