Accident Report
Hidalgo County, NM — June 21, 2026, three people were injured in a morning truck accident on Interstate 10 near the Arizona border.
Authorities said an eastbound Federal Express semi-truck crashed into another semi-truck that was parked on the shoulder near mile marker 1.
Three people suffered unspecified injuries in the crash west of Lordsburg, according to authorities. One was flown to a nearby hospital, while the other two were transported by ambulance, but it’s not clear how they were involved in the crash.
Authorities have not released any additional information about the Hidalgo County crash at this time.
How Did This Accident Occur?
It’s not clear at this point why the FedEx truck left the road. Was the driver distracted? Did the truck swerve to avoid another vehicle? Did the truck have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? The best way to answer these questions, in my experience, is through a full investigation.
Authorities likely will start by trying to reconstruct this crash by poring over physical evidence, witness statements, data from the trucks and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show if the FedEx truck driver was texting or interacting with an app at the time.
If investigators suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this crash, an independent expert likely will be needed to examine the truck. Most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience, but the people who were hurt in this crash deserve a clear picture of what happened.
