New Mexico Car Crashes

Throughout the United States, car accidents have become a serious problem among all age groups. Auto collisions are now a leading cause of death among Americans, and take more lives than gun violence every year. There are countless reasons a car crash can happen, including inclement weather, vehicle malfunctions, and driver negligence. Most often, however, negligent driving is to blame. 

Negligent drivers have been around since the dawn of the automobile; however, as time goes on, they continue to become more common on American roadways. The types of negligence continue to grow, as American drivers seem to have more reasons than ever to not give their full attention to the roadway in front of them. Some statistics related to negligent driving in the United States today include: 

• Distracted driving causes over 400,000 vehicle collisions per year and takes the lives of around 3,000 annually. 
• Intoxicated driving makes up over 30% of the national accident fatality rate. 
• Fatigued driving is behind around 100,000 car crashes every year. 
• Speeding causes over 11,000 annual fatalities.
