High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico 

When you exceed the posted speed limit, you become an active threat to everyone on the road. Speed is a common factor in serious car accidents across New Mexico, and statistics have shown that nearly 40 percent of deadly crashes in the state are attributed to speeding motorists. A total of 12,330 people were killed in speeding-related crashes in the United States in 2021. This is nearly 33 people dying every single day in a high-speed collision. Roughly one-third of reported traffic fatalities in the past twenty years have involved speeding, and drivers who engage in these and other types of reckless driving behaviors can be potentially held liable in the event of a serious collision.
