Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in New Mexico

Riding a motorcycle is a feeling unlike any other. Unfortunately, even the most experienced riders know the road is far from safe for motorcyclists. According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), New Mexico has one of the highest motorcycle fatality rates in the country. The number of riders killed in the state in 2021 was the highest figure recorded since 1975. A total of 51 motorcyclists were killed in crashes across the Land of Enchantment that year, for a fatality rate of eight per 10,000 registered vehicles.
