New Mexico Car Crashes

New Mexico sees an alarming amount of car crashes each and every year. In one recent year’s time, about 60,000 car crashes were reported throughout the Land of Enchantment. Tens of thousands of individuals are injured in these crashes, and hundreds lose their lives each and every year. The majority of these accidents happen because of drivers who are acting negligently while operating their vehicles.

Driver negligence has become a problematic issue in the United States, especially in the past decade. Distraction, intoxication, speeding, and fatigue are the leading types of driver negligence demonstrated by American drivers in the United States. For example, 11,000 people on average lose their lives every single year because of drivers who travel at unsafe speeds. Additionally, fatigue driving is behind around 100,000 car accidents that happen every year in the United States.
