Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

You never know when a reckless motorist will result in an accident that changes your life. Speeding is particularly common on New Mexico’s roads, and exceeding the posted speed limit is a risky behavior. In a single year, almost 150 persons in New Mexico lost their lives in speed-related collisions. Recent research indicates that certain counties have a higher rate of high-speed collisions than others. With 36 recorded fatalities from speeding-related incidents that year, Bernalillo County had the highest number in the state. It is more difficult to manage a motor vehicle when traveling at a high speed, and there is almost always a bigger impact force in high-speed collisions.
