Speeding-related Accidents in New Mexico

It is common to see drivers speeding on New Mexico’s highways. Speeding is a risky habit, and the state has one of the highest rates of fatal speeding-related crashes in the nation. A recent nine-year research found that speeding was a contributing factor in almost 2,000 deaths in the state and that speeding drivers were involved in about 37 percent of fatal crashes. For every 100 fatal crashes in New Mexico, there were an estimated 115 deaths linked to speeding. Of the 150 people killed in the state last year as a result of speeding drivers, 36 were from Bernalillo County.
