    About 30 miles East of Albuquerque on I-40.

    We were in the back-up. Second back-up we've been in, in two days, as a result of fatal accidents.

    My prayers and condolences to the families.

    Driving too fast for conditions and not paying attention to what's going on around them. What a waste.

    With the casinos in the area, I would tend to believe alcohol is a factor.
