New Mexico Car Accidents

Car crashes account for the bulk of fatalities and serious injuries in New Mexico, and the state’s roads are becoming more dangerous every year. According to the data, 2021 was the deadliest year for vehicle accidents in New Mexico. There were 470 confirmed deaths on the state’s roads that year, increasing from 425 just two years prior. Most of these crashes were completely avoidable and caused by the actions of reckless drivers. The state leads the nation in alcohol-related arrests, and the majority of car crashes in the Land of Enchantment are the result of driver distraction and speeding.
