New Mexico Pedestrian Crashes

Traveling on foot can be extremely dangerous in New Mexico, and recent statistics have found that the state poses serious threats to pedestrians. According to findings from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the state has continually ranked as the deadliest for pedestrians. The pedestrian fatality rate in New Mexico was 4.77 per 100,000 population in 2021. There were 103 people killed while walking that year, the highest figure ever recorded in the state, and there were 49 deadly pedestrian accidents. 

Pedestrians should be able to travel the roads of New Mexico without fear of being injured. Unfortunately, the state has a terrible reputation when it comes to pedestrian safety. This means that you likely know someone who has been impacted by a pedestrian accident. These types of crashes are particularly serious and known to result in life-changing injuries for those involved. Pedestrians are not equipped to withstand the full impact of a crash, and the sheer size discrepancy between the average person and an automobile means that the resulting injuries are severe in a pedestrian accident.
