ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A young mom accused in a tragic crash was in court this morning. 23-year-old Alexis Martinez s pretrial detention hearing got pushed back until next week.
Prosecutors didn t submit evidence with enough time for the defense to go over it.
Martinez is charged with two counts of child abuse resulting in death from a March crash near the Big-I. Her 7-year-old daughter and a two-month-old baby boy died in the crash. Two other children were hospitalized.
Police suspect Martinez was driving drunk. She will remain in jail at least until her next hearing.
CYFD could not confirm or deny the claims Tuesday night.
Martinez s friend, Danielle Ortiz, was with her in the car when it crashed.
Both women lost a child in the crash, and their other two children were seriously hurt.
Ortiz has been released from jail pending a trial. Martinez was recently released from the hospital, and is now in jail.
