Fatal New Mexico truck collision death of Adrian Alejandro Cruz – Obituary
Adrian Alejandro Cruz, an El Paso truck driver, has been identified among the two truckers who perished in a devastating head-on crash on Interstate 25 in New Mexico.
State police reported that Cruz, who leaves behind a wife and two young children, was known for his selflessness and dedication, as described by his wife on a GoFundMe page set up to assist with funeral expenses.
According to New Mexico State Police, they responded to the scene at approximately 10:50 p.m. on July 18, where they discovered two semitrucks engulfed in flames near Caballo Lake, south of Truth or Consequences. Both drivers were confirmed dead at the site of the collision.
The preliminary investigation revealed that one of the semitrucks, traveling northbound on I-25, struck an elk that was on the road. This caused the truck to veer across the median and into the southbound lanes, where it collided head-on with Cruz’s truck. Both vehicles ignited upon impact.
The identity of the driver of the northbound truck has yet to be disclosed.
