‘Pieces of car floating in my pool’: Albuquerque family shares about backyard crash

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque family is left with car parts in their backyard after another crash on a street that’s well-known for speeding drivers.

Debris and destruction: That’s what’s left at Jaclyn Broderick’s family home off Montgomery after a dangerous surprise Saturday night.

“The police contacted me on my Ring device outside. They told me that a big chunk of backyard was exposed because there was an accident,” said Broderick.

Firefighters told Broderick a speeding car smashed through her home’s backyard cinder block wall.

“The fire department did comment that they believe they were going 90 miles an hour.”

Fortunately, the family with three kids was out of town when it happened. Some blocks smashed through windows, including one that landed on the family room couch.

“There was bunch of car debris in the pool and window glass everywhere in the house. It honestly looked like a bomb went off,” said Knathan Savage.
