High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

When drivers go too fast, they are more likely to lose control and cause terrible accidents. Over 35 percent of fatal accidents in New Mexico are caused by high-speed impacts. In the last two years, over 370 people died in high-speed crashes in the state. This shows how serious the problem of speeding is in the Land of Enchantment. Drivers who are going too fast kill thousands of people every year in the United States. On average, more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by speeding.
