La Luz Canyon

New Mexico · USA · Execution site

A mother and two children are said to have been forced off the bridge by a truck coming down out of the canyon.

The road up La Luz Canyon in New Mexico divides, and one branch runs down towards a place locally called the hanging tree.

The story is that a mother and her two children were killed here when a truck coming down from the canyon ran their car off the bridge.

Nothing about it is documented, no names attach to it and no date is given, so it is presented as legend rather than as an accident report.

The instruction is to stop on the bridge before turning onto the dirt road, and the rest follows from that.

Canyon roads in the Sacramento Mountains are steep, narrow and heavily used by logging and ranch traffic, and a loaded truck coming down one has limited options. The story may or may not record a real event, but the hazard it describes is entirely real.

The roads are public, unlit and demanding.
