Car Crashes in New Mexico

In New Mexico, you can never be certain when or if you will sustain injuries in a car crash. The bulk of fatalities and serious injuries in the state are caused by vehicle collisions, and the roads appear to be getting riskier every year. 2022 was one of the worst years on New Mexico roads in recent memory, according to the most recent crash data. There were 466 recorded fatal crashes in the state that year, and many more resulted in serious injuries. Careless driving was the main cause of the majority of these collisions, which means that many of them were completely avoidable.
