EL PASO, Texas ( KTSM ) — A crash from Friday in El Paso's Lower Valley left a 1-year-old dead and a woman injured.
According to the El Paso Police Department, officers responded to a crash involving two vehicles in the 7000 block of Alameda Avenue at 5:23 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6
The Special Traffic Investigation Unit responded to the scene, and the preliminary investigation revealed that 34-year-old Lwaxana Leigh Ramey was traveling westbound with the 1-year-old, identified as Oliver Yepes, in a 2010 Gray Honda Fit on Alameda Avenue and turned left.
At the same time, 19-year-old Isaiah Jesse Martinez was driving a 2013 Audi A4 traveling eastbound on Alameda and was unable to avoid a collision with the Honda Fit, police said.
Ramey was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to a spokesperson with the El Paso Fire Department.
