ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A car crashed into the National Hispanic Cultural Center on Friday, causing a small fire in the building that sits along a busy street in southwest Albuquerque near the Rio Grande.
The crash also triggered an evacuation, but the center’s director said that the only person present was in an adjacent building, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.
The male driver of the car is in critical condition and was taken to a hospital, according to APD spokesperson Gilbert Gallegos Jr. The male and a female were involved in a “confrontation” prior to the crash, with the female passenger telling the male driver to slow down. The female passenger was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries, according to police.
The car went completely inside the building after going through the front doors, according to police.
It is unclear how much damage the crash caused the building. APD detectives are investigating whether the crash was intentional. No arrests have been made, according to police.
