High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

When you exceed the speed limit, you put everyone on the road at risk. In New Mexico, serious auto accidents are often the result of speeding, and statistics show that nearly 40 percent of fatal collisions in the state are caused by speeding drivers. In the United States, speeding-related collisions claimed the lives of 12,330 people in 2021. This is almost 33 people being killed by a speeding driver every single day. Speeding has been a factor in about one-third of traffic fatalities that took place in the last 20 years, and drivers who speed or engage in other reckless driving practices may be held accountable for serious accidents.
