ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Albuquerque police have been involved in more than 500 car crashes since January 2019, according to a spokesperson with APD.
Out of the 506 crashes, 262 were preventable, according to the department.
APD denied KOB 4’s request for an interview but sent a statement that said: “APD officers receive performance training to help avoid crashes. Last October we announced that the department was working with Performance Driving School to train officers who have been in crashes.”
Meanwhile, a new lawsuit filed this week accused an APD employee of running a red light call and causing a crash that killed an 85-year-old woman.
