New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

When you drive in New Mexico, you always run the risk of a major accident. But when a driver speeds, there is always a much bigger chance of a serious collision. These things happen because going too fast makes it take a lot longer to stop, which makes it harder for drivers to respond to unexpected dangers on the road. According to the most recent crash data, more than 25 percent of all fatal car accidents are high-speed collisions, and thousands of people die across the country in these kinds of accidents each year.
