Pedestrian Accidents in New Mexico

Walking is a great way to get around Albuquerque, but being a pedestrian comes with significant risks. Unfortunately, many New Mexico residents are killed and injured each year while walking. Only 1.3 percent of car accidents in 2019 involved pedestrians, but pedestrians accounted for nearly 20 percent of traffic fatalities in the state that year. Alcohol was a factor in 37 percent of pedestrian crashes in 2020, and that year, a pedestrian accident was reported every 18 hours on average.
