New Mexico Car Crashes

Driving can be incredibly dangerous, and most New Mexicans are on the road nearly every day. Unfortunately, this scenario has led to an increased crash rate in the state.

In a recent year, there were more than 36,000 car accidents reported in the state of New Mexico. That year, there were more than 85,000 injuries and hundreds of fatalities on the state’s roadways.

The state has the unfortunate reputation of being home to some of the worst drivers in the country. In Bernalillo County, there is an automobile crash nearly every 38 minutes. The state leads the nation in alcohol-related crashes.

Furthermore, in 2022, New Mexico saw 40,884 crashes resulting in 466 deaths and over 18,000 injuries. The leading contributing factors were driver inattention (18.1%), failure to yield (6.1%), improper driving actions (4.6%), and following too closely (4.2%). Fatal crashes often involved driver inattention (12.3%), alcohol-impaired driving (12.2%), drug impairment (11.5%), and excessive speed (9.7%).
