Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

The speed involved in a crash can have a serious impact on a car accident. Speeding drivers are responsible for a high number of serious collisions in the United States. Nationwide, roughly 29 percent of all fatal car accidents are caused by speeding drivers. A total of 11,258 people died in crashes brought on by speeding drivers last year. Similar to drunk driving, speeding is a problem in some states more than it is in others. Unfortunately in New Mexico, drivers struggle with both.

There are many factors that can contribute to a serious car accident, and crashes are often caused by the actions of reckless drivers. Speeding is very common in New Mexico, and we have all seen reckless drivers speed down the road while out and about.
