Update (January 29, 2026): Las Cruces police say that two people were seriously injured and another five suffered minor injuries in the crash on Lohman last night.
The driver of one of the cars involved suffered a medical episode that caused her to temporarily lose consciousness. The car sideswiped two others.
"The Palisade continued east, veered right and drove through the intersection diagonally where it crashed into a Chevrolet Silverado that was stopped in a northbound lane, about to enter onto eastbound Lohman," LCPD said. "Both vehicles left the roadway, jumped a curb and struck the pedestrians who were on a sidewalk."
Two pedestrians on the sidewalk suffered serious injuries. The two people have been identified publicly only as men ages 40 and 48. The 48-year-old had to be airlifted to UMC of El Paso.
The driver was alert enough to speak with first responders when they arrived at the scene.
"The PSA performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the 48-year-old victim and was part of the first responder team that helped him regain a pulse. Firefighters tended to seven patients on scene, provided lifesaving care to the critically injured and initial attention for all patients. Firefighters oversaw the transportation of four victims to area hospitals."
