Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Everybody using the road must drive carefully and avoid causing injuries to others. Too many people in New Mexico fail to live up to this basic principle. In New Mexico, there are over 45,000 registered auto accidents every year, and most of these collisions are caused by distracted drivers. In a recent year, there was one recorded distracted driving collision in the state roughly every 56 minutes. In the time it takes to send a text message, you can travel the length of a football field, which is more than enough time to cause a severe car accident. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for their actions.
