High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico
A lot of drivers in New Mexico have a habit of speeding on the state’s roads and highways, and statistics show that approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities in the state are caused by high-speed crashes. There are several reasons why driving too fast increases the risk of a major accident. Among the most notable are the higher probability of losing control of your car and the significant increase in the resulting impact.
