Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:46:08 -0500

AN ALBUQUERQUE WOMAN IS SHAKEN TO HER CORE AFTER A NEAR MISS WITH THE RAIL RUNNER THIS MORNING. SHE SAYS THE CROSSING ARM AT MONTANO MALFUNCTIONED AND NEARLY COST HER HER LIFE. BUT RAIL RUNNER OFFICIALS ARE DISPUTING HER CLAIM. SHELTON DODSON HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS... HE’S LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM... SHELTON: WHAT'S CLEAR IS THAT THE CROSSING ARM ON EASTBOUND MONTANO CAME DOWN AND HIT SANDRA OLGUIN'S S-U-V THIS MORNING SECONDS BEFORE THE RAIL RUNNER TRAIN SPED BY. WHAT'S NOT CLEAR IS WHO'S TO BLAME: THE RAILROAD TRACK AT MONTANO IS SOMETHING SANDRA OLGUIN CROSSES EVERYDAY. BUT THIS MORNING SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE THAT SHE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. 'As I was crossing the arm came down and hit my car.' IT CRACKED HER WINDOW AND TORE UP HER LUGGAGE RACK BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAS HER SO UPSET TONIGHT. Did you see lights? Did you hear bells? 'No, I didn't hear no bells. I didn't see the lights either.' OLGUIN BELIEVES THE CROSSING BARRIER MALFUNCTIONED — WITH THE ARM COMING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. BUT RAIL RUNNER OFFICIALS SAY THAT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE. 'It's one complete system. The arms come down as the bells are dinging and the lights are flashing. The don't happen separately of each other.' THIS AFTERNOON WE WAITED ON THE RAIL RUNNER TO SEE IF THE ARM WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. AND WE FOUND THAT IN THE AFTERNOON IT WAS. BUT OLGUIN SAYS THERE IS NO DOUBT IN HER MIND IT WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY THIS MORNING AND NOW SHE IS RE-THINKING HER REGULAR ROUTE TO WORK. 'I am terrified to go across those tracks again.' OLGUIN SAYS SHE IS NOT SEEKING A LAWSUIT -- JUST SOME ANSWERS. ONES THAT WILL PUT HER MIND AT EASE FOR HER AND HER FAMILY. 'We go through there all the time and something has to be done.

Enhanced police presence planned for Halloween

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:39:05 -0400

with halloween falling on a saturday this year, law enforcement across the metro area is preparing for what could be a very busy weekend. austin reed- live from downtown albuquerque to tell us what police are doing to make sure minute thumbnail 12:05 pm tomorrow’s trick-or-treaters, and partiers stay as safe as possible. austin? between the albuquerque police department, and the bernalillo county sheriff's office-- they both say that they're ready for much higher than normal calls for service this weekend. but-- in order to have the safest holiday possible: they're asking for help from you. "nats: trick r treaters" halloween is supposed to be fun for all. i'm always concerned when there is a bunch of little kids and sometimes the older kids pick on them and things like that but sometimes that "fun" can turn into a real nightmare for many. so that's why a-p-d and b-c- s-o will be working extra hard all weekend long. we'll take action in whatever needs to be done to make sure law and order is kept b-c- s-o has "operation boo" in place. you can expect extra patrols out. — on halloween night between 5 and 8, at every fire station inside the county, firefighters will hand out minute thumbnail 12:06 pm reflective bags to anyone. -- they're also encouraging people to call the sheriff's office non-emergency number for neighborhood patrols. i think it's a good thing that you have that extra support, cus a lot of times when you call something in, you don't know how long it'll be before they respond a- p-d will also have extra patrols across the city, and they're offering these helpful safety reminders... "try to hit the neighborhoods your familiar with and neighbors you know, always check candy and if you have any questions, simply get rid of it, and if you see anything suspicious, your asked to call 911 immediately" and for a list of some safe halloween events across the entire state, just go to the brand new kob.com. click on 4 links
