On September 28, 2025, just after 5AM, District 6 officers responded to a single vehicle crash in the North Riverfront neighborhood. When they arrived, they located an overturned vehicle on the railroad tracks near the 100 block of Carrie.
Two adult males were taken to the hospital where one died from his injuries, and the other was listed in critical condition. Positive identification is pending.
The SLMPD Accident Reconstruction Unit was requested and assumed the investigation.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was driving eastbound on a gravel service road when the vehicle ran off the road, struck a tree, and overturned. The overturned vehicle rolled onto the railroad track where it came to a rest.
As the vehicle rolled over, the rear seat passenger was ejected from the vehicle and was fatally injured. The driver also sustained critical injuries.
The investigation remains ongoing.
