New Mexico High-Speed Crashes

Speeding motorists are a typical sight on New Mexico’s roads. The state has one of the highest percentages of fatal speeding-related collisions in the country. According to a recent nine-year study, over 2,000 deaths in the state were caused by excessive speed, and roughly 37 percent of fatal crashes in the study involved speeding drivers. In New Mexico, there are an estimated 115 speeding-related fatalities for every 100 fatal crashes. Bernalillo County accounted for 36 of the 150 fatalities caused by speeding drivers in the state last year. When you speed, you are much more likely to lose control of your vehicle, and it is harder to avoid serious car accidents.
