A woman from Las Cruces, New Mexico, was airlifted to an El Paso hospital in critical condition after a crash on Tuesday, according to the Las Cruces Police Department.
Police responded to the intersection of El Paseo Road and Farney Lane to find a two-vehicle crash. The woman was trapped inside a Nissan Juke and was helped out by firefighters. She was initially taken to a Las Cruces hospital before being airlifted to El Paso.
According to investigators, a 20-year-old woman driving a Honda Accord hit the woman in the Nissan. The driver of the Honda also went to a nearby hospital with relatively minor injuries. It is believed that one of the drivers may have run a red light, and the woman driving the Nissan was not wearing her seatbelt at the time of the crash, which may have contributed to her injuries.
