New Mexico Car Accidents
New Mexico drivers are some of the worst in the country, and the state’s roads are filled with reckless motorists. In 2022, there were 466 traffic fatalities reported across the state. An estimated 170 of these collisions involved drunk drivers, making up an estimated 36 percent of roadway fatalities in the state that year. Something as simple as wearing a seatbelt can help prevent serious injuries in the event of a crash, but even then, there is only so much you can do to protect yourself while traveling on the state’s roads.
