Serious Pedestrian Crashes Leave Multiple Victims Hospitalized Across Several Cities

In Albuquerque, police said officers were dispatched to the I-40 off-ramp to Louisiana near Lomas at about 6:30 p.m., and the pedestrian was taken to the hospital in “critical condition.” APD said people were detained but provided no further details.
In Las Vegas, officials said the Boulder Highway crash occurred just after 4 p.m. in the 6600 block near Russell Road; police transported the pedestrian to the hospital and “did not share” the pedestrian’s condition or occupants’ condition, and also did not say whether “speed or impairment is suspected.”
Las Vegas authorities issued more specific traffic guidance than a general shutdown: one report said police closed northbound Boulder Highway starting after Gibson Road and advised drivers to use alternate routes while the investigation continued.
In Calgary, police reported the collision happened in the 900 block of 17 Avenue S.W. at 3:30 p.m., and the closure was in both directions between 9A Street and Seventh Street S.W.
