Albuquerque police say driver ran stop sign before being struck by officer
Feb. 11—The Albuquerque Police Department said a 25-year-old driver who was T-boned by an officer responding to a call on Monday is expected to survive his injuries.
APD spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said the man, who was initially described as a teenager, is "being monitored for internal bleeding, but is expected to make a full recovery."
The officer involved in the collision was treated for minor injuries.
The crash occurred around 6:40 p.m. on Snow Vista SW, south of Sage.
Surveillance video showed the driver of the Toyota Camry "ran a stop sign, crossed at least one lane of traffic and pulled into the path of the officer" before the crash, Gallegos said. At the time, the officer was headed in the direction of an unrelated crash at 98th and Interstate 40.
"The call had just come out, and he was going to respond, but this crash happened in an instant. He did not have emergency equipment activated," Gallegos said. Video showed the officer was "driving with the flow of traffic" and didn't appear to be speeding at the time.
Due to the seriousness of the driver's injuries, APD's fatal crash detectives are investigating, with the Rio Rancho Police Department assisting.

'You missed': New details emerge as teens charged in Burnsville graduation night shooting
'You missed': New details emerge as teens charged in Burnsville graduation night shooting originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Two 18-year-olds from Bloomington and Shakopee are facing drive-by shooting charges in connection to an incident following the Burnsville High School graduation ceremony on Friday, June 6. Abdulahi Jama Ali, of Shakopee, and Abdikani Mukhtar Abdiwahab, of Bloomington, were charged Monday in Dakota County District Court, Ali is charged with two counts of drive-by shooting and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. Abdiwahab is facing two drive-by shooting charges and other counts for aiding an offender. According to the criminal complaint, gunshots rang out west of Burnsville High School around 8:30 p.m., which was approximately 30 minutes after the graduation ceremony concluded. The shots were fired after police on scene had already broken up "several physical altercations" and attempted to disperse two groups who were "flashing gang signs towards each other." Ali and Abdiwahab were arrested after bystanders pointed police in the direction of the black Toyota Camry they were in. Abdiwahab was driving and Ali was in the front passenger seat, according to the complaint. While arresting the duo, officers heard a bystander shout, "Ksoe, you missed. You dumb ass. You missed." The complaint claims that Ali's nickname is "Ksoe." Further investigation revealed, allegedly, that the bystander who mocked "Ksoe" for missing was seen earlier — by witnesses in a vehicle behind the Toyota Camry — approach the Camry and talk with the duo before he "tried to punch the Camry" before the witness "saw the barrel of a gun come out of the front passenger window and open fire." Police found a handgun with an extended magazine under the front passenger seat. They also found one bullet casing on the driver's side floorboard and two more casings on the street by the vehicle. One bullet fragment was found lodged into the headlight of a vehicle parked nearby. Abdiwahab allegedly waived his Miranda rights and claimed he didn't shoot a gun and didn't know anything about a gun being shot. He also said he didn't know how a gun wound up in his car. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension collected DNA samples from the gun, Ali and Abdiwahab for analysis. No one was physically injured in the shooting.
