New Mexico Car Crashes

Every time you get on the road, there is a chance that you could get into a car accident that changes your life. In New Mexico, automobile accidents claim hundreds of lives annually. There were 466 traffic fatalities recorded in the state in 2022. The state has a problem with drunk driving, which contributes to a substantial number of crashes in New Mexico.
