New Mexico Car Wrecks

Additionally, people aged 15-20 most often lose their lives because of traffic accidents. When the main cause of these wrecks is considered, we learn that driver negligence is the culprit, causing millions of injuries and tens of thousands of deaths per year. 

Each year, the United States sees more than 6 million car crashes. These wrecks consistently end in injuries for about 3 million people and prematurely take the lives of about 40,000 individuals annually. On average, each day, about 17,000 car crashes are reported throughout the country, and about 7,500 people sustain injuries in auto accidents in the United States. The fact that most of these are caused by negligent driving is alarming.
