Albuquerque police: 1 dead in six-car pileup

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police say one person is dead and several others are injured following a six-car pileup along a busy road on Albuquerque's southeast side. Police say the crash happened Monday afternoon near the intersection of Central Avenue and Wyoming Blvd. They did not immediately identify the person who died and said several others were injured and taken to the hospital. The road was cordoned off as police investigated. Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Officer Fred Duran says speed was likely a factor in the crash but investigators were still trying to determine what happened.
