ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque police released the names of the two 23-year-old women — and the charges they will face — in a deadly crash on Tuesday morning that left two children dead and a third child critically injured.
Rebecca Atkins, an Albuquerque police spokeswoman, said Alexis Martinez was driving at the time of the crash and Danielle Ortiz was a passenger.
Police have said Martinez was speeding. Ortiz told officers the women had been drinking and that at least one child was sitting on the floor when the crash occurred.
