(Deming) – A number of accidents occurred on the interstate just east of Deming Thursday afternoon as the temperatures began to drop and the road surface became slick.
Local law enforcement officials said the area most affected was near mile-marker 93 where several drivers lost control, slid off the interstate or struck other vehicles. None of the accidents resulted in life-threatening injuries.
Accident reports on I-10 began coming in about 5 p.m. Thursday, and the interstate was closed about midnight and not fully reopened until about 9 a.m. Friday.
Otherwise, road conditions around Luna County were reported as snow-packed and icy in spots, but drivers were exercising caution, slowing down and being courteous, so even minor fender-benders were few.
