TRAVELED UP AND DOWN THE INTERSTATES TONIGHT--- CAUTIOUSLY TESTING THE ROADWAYS ... WE START WITH JOE VIGIL---- WHO TRAVELED I-25 -- THE SCENE OF AT LEAST TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS. HE'S LIVE IN SANTA FE. A COUPLE DRIVERS MADE IT HOME ALIVE TONIGHT AFTER SOME SCARY LOOKING CRASHES. BUT ONE PERSON IN THE SANTA FE AREA DID NOT. THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-25 NEAR SANTA FE TONIGHT---ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. WE DIDN'T DARE GO MUCH FASTER THAN THAT. HERE'S WHY. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VICIOUS DAY ON I-25. WE WERE FIRST ON THE SCENE OF THIS CRASH JUST SOUTH OF LA BAJADA ...AND RAN UP TO THE DRIVER TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS OKAY. 'Do you want an ambulance? I don't think I need an ambulance.' SHE SLIPPED ON THE ROAD AND ROLLOVER. 'I just thought hang on and it was over...I just felt it and that's it....at this speed there's no overcorrecting it just like lets see where the van goes.' ROSEANN BRANSFORD FEELS FORTUNATE SHE'S OKAY. SHE WAS HEADING TO SANTA TO MEET UP WITH HER KIDS. 'I'm dead shocked I'm still awake like I'm not waking up in the ER or anything.' AFTER MAKING SURE BRANSFORD WAS OKAY WE CONTINUED ON AND RAN INTO THIS NASTY LOOKING ROLLOVER JUST A COUPLE MILES AWAY. MIKE LUNA FROM BELEN SAYS ANOTHER DRIVER CUT HIM OFF. 'Instead of trying to hit the bridge I tried to avoid the bridge and I wasn't even going that fast. I was hoping it wouldn't roll over but it did roll over.''He's pretty lucky he had his seatbelt on he's doing pretty good.'BUT SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES SAY THE 83 YEAR WOMAN IN THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. SHE DIED. DEPUTIES ON SCENE TOLD US A SEATBELT VERY WELL MAY HAVE SAVED HER LIFE. SHE WAS THE PASSENGER. THE 84 YEAR OLD DRIVER SURVIVED. DEPUTIES SAY HE WAS WEARING A SEATBELT. I TALKED TO STATE POLICE LATE TONIGHT. I'M TOLD THE INTERSTATE AROUND I-25 IS SLIPPERY AND TRAVEL IS BEING DISCOURAGED. IT'S SNOW PACKED AND ICY AROUND LAS VEGAS...AND RATON PASS IS ICY AND FOGGY TONIGHT. LIVE IN SANTA FE JOE VIGIL EYEWITNESS NEWS 4. HIGHWAY CREWS  « Less
