Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

In New Mexico, it can be very risky to walk on foot. When it comes to pedestrian fatalities, the state consistently leads the country. Findings from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA) reveal that the state had the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities nationwide in 2021. That year, there were 103 pedestrian fatalities in New Mexico, or 4.77 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people. There were a record 49 pedestrian deaths in Albuquerque that year. Pedestrians are much more likely to be killed in a crash due to their lack of protection from the full impact.
