UFC superstar Jon Jones has now been named a suspect in a hit and run crash ... in which a 20-year-old pregnant woman was hospitalized ... the Albuquerque Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports.
A rep for the APD says ... Jon is "wanted for questioning" in regards to a crash that occurred this morning in New Mexico. The woman sustained non-life threatening injuries.
We've reached out to the UFC for comment -- so far, no word back.
There were rumors on social media that drugs were involved in the wreck -- but cops wouldn't say anything about that at this point.
The UFC says it is aware of the investigation -- and is actively trying to gather information.

UPDATE:
Investigators found marijuana and a marijuana pipe inside the car that Jon Jones allegedly abandoned moments after a hit and run crash in New Mexico ... cops say.
TMZ Sports has obtained the police report ... in which cops say witnesses saw a man believed to be the UFC champ run from the crash scene moments after slamming into a car carrying a pregnant woman.
One witness says Jones got out of his silver Buick and ran into the hills -- before slouching over and darting back to the car to grab a "large handful of cash."
After that, witnesses say Jones jumped a nearby fence and ran off.
As for the initial crash, cops say Jones ran a red light ... and slammed into the pregnant woman's car. The woman told responders she felt like she was going to pass out. She was taken to a nearby hospital.
Cops tried multiple times to contact Jones -- but were unable to reach the UFC superstar.
