My two children and I were one of the accidents involved (black Dodge Durango). The report is inaccurate in that I had to slam on my brakes to avoid the accident (I intentionally told the officer that I did not slam on my brakes, but rather was just applying them). I could see that the traffic was backed up on the main hill, therefore I was driving at a low rate of speed. I also had a good amount of distance between my vehicle and the car in front of me (about two car lengths). I started to apply my brakes as I saw traffic coming to a stop. The car behind me was driving much closer and she did not react with enough time and consequently hit us from behind.
This is no more information than would have appeared in a newspaper account of the accidents. But nowadays, local news is very hard to come by. I appreciate the details. I'm sure if somebody had died, deference would be provided to allow family to be contacted before naming a victim.
This amount of information makes me uncomfortable. Why in the world do you find it newsworthy who these individuals are? Or what their ages are? And calling them by their first names seems so strange. So invasive and weird of you. Report the story and stop trying to be the first one to "break" the news of WHO was involved...you sound like a teenager trying to be the first to react to a post, for no reason whatsoever. Uncomfortable, weird, and intrusive with no news value whatsoever.
For me this made the story more relevant in that I know two of the people. I drive to my job at LANL from North Mesa. Many of my co-workers are driving “up the hill” and it is just not safe.
@Anon You don’t need to be so arrogant and rude. The article was well informative and names and ages of individuals of the women who were at fault are a matter of public record. Try being a little more professional.
In the English language, two little tick marks near the top of letters -- like this >> " << -- are what're called "quotation marks" (see what I did there?). They demarcate words spoken by people other than the writer of the story.
I called an anonymous source to confirm this. "Yes, that's correct," my source said.

Thanks for letting us know that the police report was inaccurate!

Thank you for your perseverance in bringing awareness. May your reporting bring change.
