High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

A driver’s ability to respond to hazards on the road decreases when they speed or go faster than the circumstances of the road allow. This can significantly raise the likelihood of a catastrophic crash. Approximately one-third of road deaths documented in the United States during the past 20 years have been related to speeding, and over 10,000 individuals lose their lives in high-speed crashes annually. Speeding is significantly more common in New Mexico. According to statistics, about 35 percent of the state’s fatal collisions involve speeding motorists. These reckless drivers should be held accountable for the consequences of a catastrophic vehicle collision because they pose an active hazard to other drivers.
