3 killed, dozens hurt in New Mexico bus crash

Authorities say at least three of the 22 people injured in a crash involving a passenger bus and three other vehicles on New Mexico highway are in critical condition.

Three people died in the wreck early Sunday, but it’s unclear if they were bus passengers or in a semitruck, pickup truck or car tied to the collision.

Photos from the scene show a mangled car that’s almost entirely flattened and the bus on its side on Interstate 25 north of Albuquerque.

Authorities say injuries range from broken bones and lacerations to head and internal injuries.

Twelve of the injured were taken to University of New Mexico Hospital, where officials say three are in critical condition.

Eight patients were transported to Sandoval Regional Medical Center, and authorities say six were treated and released.
