High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Speed plays a key role in roadway safety. Simple physics shows that speeding makes it harder to control your car and stop in time to avoid hazards on the road. This is a potentially deadly combination that can greatly increase the risk of a crash while also magnifying any resulting injuries. Statistics show that nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities in the United States in the past 20 years have involved speeding motorists, and more than 10,000 people lose their lives each year in high-speed collisions. Speeding is even more prevalent right here in New Mexico. An astounding 35 percent of fatal collisions in the state involve excess speeds. Speeding is incredibly dangerous, and drivers who engage in negligent behavior behind the wheel should be held responsible in the event of a crash.
