New Mexico Rollover Crashes

Almost 74 percent of these deadly accidents involved an initial impact, while only 26 percent of these vehicles overturned without an initial crash. Nearly 10 percent of deadly crashes involve rollover accidents, and the majority of the fatalities are unrestrained passengers.
