(Deming) – An accident at the intersection of Hwy 418 and Skyview sent two people to the hospital Wednesday.
Luna County Sheriff’s Captain Jose Martinez said 18-year-old Susanna Turner of Deming and her 10-year-old brother were transported with undisclosed injuries following the accident at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Martinez said Turner was driving a Toyota Yaris westbound on Hwy 418 – or the Old Lordsburg Highway – when her vehicle was struck by a Hummer H3 being driven by 55-year-old Alejandro Sanchez of Deming.
Sanchez, who was southbound on Skyview, told deputies he was crossing Hwy 418 to proceed onto Dona Ana Road and did not see the oncoming Toyota.
Sanchez, who refused medical attention, was arrested on a Hidalgo County warrant for failure to pay fines and was cited for careless driving.
