Albuquerque, NM – Albuquerque Fire/Rescue were dispatched to an ATV accident on the west side of town. When they arrived they found a female lying on the ground by herself unconscious and barely alive. Witnesses told the rescuers that the female was driving an ATV with a male passenger at an extremely high rate of speed on the roadway. At some point the ATV tried to negotiate a curve in the road but lost control and it hit a residential wall launching both the driver and rider into the open field. The male immediately regained consciousness and tried to turn his ATV upright and requested the assistance of one of the witnesses. The witness complied and the male driver tried to drag his unconscious wife onto the ATV so they could leave the scene. The witness insisted that the male not take his wife so there would be no further injury to her. The male agreed then rode away abandoning his wife. Rescue was suspicious about the circumstances and called Police to the scene. Rescue was also handed a loaded handgun recovered from the area which appeared to belong to the couple on the ATV. When Police arrived and were being briefed by rescue they witnessed the male returning on foot with a change of clothes and he was bleeding profusely from a large gash to his head. Police detained the male and determined a much bigger investigation needed to happen.
