Car Crashes in New Mexico
Every year, there are almost six million auto accidents in the United States, and these accidents result in over 3 million injuries and 40,000 fatalities. Despite the protection that seatbelts provide, one in seven drivers chooses not to wear one. This is unfortunate because it is well known that wearing a seatbelt significantly lowers the likelihood of dying in an accident by around 45 percent.
