High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

When you drive too fast, keeping your car under control and stopping in time to avoid unanticipated road hazards becomes more difficult. This combination has the potential to be fatal and greatly increases the risk of a catastrophic auto collision. An estimated 10,000 people lose their lives in high-speed crashes each year, and figures show that over one-third of all traffic fatalities reported in the United States in the previous 20 years were caused by speeding drivers. Speeding is considerably more prevalent here in New Mexico. Remarkably, 35 percent of the state’s deadly collisions include speeding. Driving at high speeds is extremely dangerous, and those who do so should be held responsible for any accidents they may cause due to their negligence.
