KOB reports two people were killed and a third was injured in a military vehicle crash Tuesday morning in southern New Mexico.
Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) released the following statement Tuesday night: “I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of two service members today near Santa Teresa. My thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and fellow service members during this difficult time. With the recent deployments to and the new mission at the Southern border, we must fully review the circumstances surrounding this incident. We owe it to them — and all who serve — to ensure their safety is never compromised.”
We’re still working to confirm what type of vehicle it was, what service branch they were from, and what led to the crash.
What we do know is it happened about halfway between Santa Teresa and Columbus, right along the border, just barely within Doña Ana County.
