ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies suspect alcohol may have played a role in a head-on crash on Interstate 25 early Saturday morning.

The collision happened about 2 a.m. near the Tramway Road exit in northern Albuquerque.

Deputies said it appeared the wrong-way driver heading south entered the freeway on the northbound exit to Tramway.

The driver then crashed head-on into a northbound Ford Expedition.

Both drivers and the one passenger in each vehicle were injured.  One person was initially reported to be in critical condition although a later report said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.

The sheriff's DWI Unit is investigating the crash.

A spokesperson said the wrong-way driver is expected to be charged with three counts of great bodily harm by motor vehicle once he is released from the hospital..
