New Mexico Car Crashes

Driving can be incredibly dangerous, no matter how safe of a driver you may be. According to recent statistics, 2021 was the deadliest year on New Mexico’s roads ever recorded. This year marked a nearly decade-long high of traffic fatalities in the state. 470 roadway fatalities took place in the state that year. This represents a significant and observable increase over the 425 deaths in 2019. Speeding, aggressive driving, and driver distraction are some of the major causes of fatal collisions in New Mexico.
