New Mexico Car Wrecks

Car crashes continue to be a serious problem in New Mexico. In 2021, approximately 40,000 reported vehicle collisions happened throughout the Land of Enchantment that injured tens of thousands of people and took the lives of hundreds more. One common issue that constantly persists in the state is the prevalence of intoxicated driving-related incidents. In 2021, approximately 40% of all auto collisions reported in the state involved a drunk driver. This outlines the vital necessity for constant efforts to negate drunk driving and promote alcohol consumption that is responsible and mindful. 

Another common concerning issue is the high number of incidents caused by distracted driving. Distracted drivers often text and drive, talk on the phone, or engage with in-vehicle technology that takes their attention from the roadway and their immediate surroundings. This is extremely dangerous and can end in injuries and fatalities for everyone involved.
