High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Between 2017 and 2019, speed was a contributing factor in 370 fatal car accidents in New Mexico, accounting for about 35% of all fatal accidents in the state. Excessive speed increases the risk of severe injury by lengthening stopping distances and increasing the likelihood of losing control of the vehicle. It also reduces the effectiveness of safety features in and around your car. Always maintain a safe and appropriate speed to protect yourself and other road users.
