El Paso Crash, UTEP Records, Poppies Fest, and a 100th Birthday Celebration
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for March 11, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from overnight. A serious crash occurred in South Central El Paso at the intersection of Delta Drive and San Marcial Street. One person was hospitalized, and Special Traffic Investigators are on the scene. The eastbound lanes of Delta Drive remain closed, so plan your morning commute accordingly.
In a tragic update, we've learned that a 58-year-old Central El Paso man lost his life in a separate crash late Friday night. Police believe he failed to yield the right of way while making a turn. Our thoughts are with the victim's family during this difficult time.
On a brighter note, El Paso Locomotive FC has signed two promising young players, Axel Valdivia and Raul "Chapo" Vazquez, to USL Academy contracts. These local talents will be eligible for the season opener against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC this Saturday at Southwest University Park. It's a great opportunity for our community to support homegrown talent.
Speaking of sports, UTEP's Eva Jess continues to impress on the track. The senior has broken the program's 5k record twice and is aiming for even more as we head into the outdoor track and field season.
In city news, Mayor Oscar Leeser addressed infrastructure concerns during the recent State of the City address. He acknowledged our roads need improvement and mentioned that the city manager and staff are exploring dedicated funding options to tackle this issue. We'll keep you updated as plans develop.
The job market is looking up, with Blue Origin expanding operations at our airport. The aerospace company's growth could lead to more high-paying jobs in the region. Mayor Leeser also emphasized the potential for medical sector growth, noting that each new doctor creates up to 15 additional jobs.
For those looking to buy a home, the market remains competitive. While specific numbers aren't available, local realtors report steady demand, especially in the northeast area where revitalization efforts are underway.
Culture enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The annual Poppies Fest is back with a month-long celebration throughout March. It's a perfect opportunity to enjoy our local natural beauty and community spirit.
Weather-wise, we're in for a blustery day. A Wind Advisory and Blowing Dust Advisory are in effect from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with gusts up to 50 mph possible. Visibility may drop below one mile at times, so drive carefully if you're out and about.
Lastly, a heartwarming community story: Bienvivir All-Inclusive Senior Health recently celebrated the 100th birthday of Mr. Albino Camarillo. It's a testament to the vibrant, long-living community we have here in El Paso.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
