New Mexico Car Crashes

Car accidents have become a serious and problematic issue in the United States, especially in the past decade. Car accidents happen for numerous reasons, including bad weather, car problems, and more. Negligent driving has become the main culprit in causing the majority of car crashes in the United States. Most auto accidents happen due to the actions of drivers who are distracted, intoxicated, speeding, or overtired while behind the wheel. These behaviors lead to millions of injuries and tens of thousands of deaths in the United States every year.

For example, approximately 11,000 people lose their lives every year because of drivers who travel at unsafe speeds. Additionally, around 3,000 individuals are killed yearly because of distracted driving. Because drivers are totally addicted to their phones, they find it difficult to not look at the screen while they are behind the wheel. Looking down at your phone, or anywhere else besides at the road in front of you, and at your immediate surroundings, can be extremely dangerous and even deadly for you and everyone you encounter while driving.
