Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward died Thursday morning in a car crash. A spokesman for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office told NM Political Report on Thursday that Ward had no apparent trauma from the crash, which led the responders to believe it was a medical incident. KRQE-TV first reported Ward may have suffered a health episode. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said that EMS was called. “They transported Ms. Ward to the hospital and en route they tried to revive her, but their measures were not successful,” Juan Rios said.
