New Mexico Pedestrian Accidents
You should feel safe when walking through Albuquerque’s streets as a pedestrian. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents are far too common around the state. According to a survey by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the number of pedestrian fatalities in New Mexico has risen to its highest level since the 1980s. There were 103 fatal pedestrian accidents in the Land of Enchantment in 2021, placing the state first in the United States for pedestrian fatalities.
Pedestrians do not have the same protection on the road as those traveling in motor vehicles. Many people on foot suffer life-threatening injuries in the event of a crash. Unfortunately, New Mexico drivers do not look out for pedestrians as they should, and they are known to cause catastrophic crashes in the process.
