18-Wheeler Accidents in New Mexico

Crashes involving large semi-trucks are much more likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Statistics show that almost 3 percent of collisions in New Mexico involve 18-wheelers. There are more than 43,000 car accidents that take place in the state each year, and an estimated 1,400 of these crashes involve semi-trucks. The data show that semi-truck crashes in the state are nearly four times more likely to end in fatal injuries than typical auto accidents. Even more shocking is that 1 out of every 15 trucking accidents results in serious injuries.
