Kylie Rae posted an a message on Twitter earlier in the day, "Fuel range is 46 miles and I’m 36 from the nearest gas station. Dear baby Jesus please don’t let me get stranded in NM."
The Taos County Sheriff's Office says that alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash. But, specifics on that point have not been made public. It's unclear if the driver of Kylie's car or the other vehicle was drinking.
