New Mexico Truck Accidents

Every year, a significant number of people are killed and injured in semi-truck collisions on New Mexico’s roads. These enormous vehicles are very destructive in an accident because of their weight and size, and passengers in smaller passenger cars are more likely to sustain potentially fatal injuries. A total of 821 big truck crashes were reported in the state in 2022, with 44 fatalities and 235 injuries. In all, 68,320 truck accidents resulted in 4,766 fatalities nationwide that year. The total number of injuries from these collisions was over 76,000. Large trucks were involved in an estimated 13 percent of the 35,766 fatal collisions that were recorded nationwide that year. Remarkably, 30 percent of semi-truck crashes cause injuries, and over three percent result in fatalities.
