New Mexico Car Crashes

Car crashes in Santa Fe and across New Mexico are driven mostly by driver error, including impaired, distracted, or aggressive behavior. In 2023, the state recorded around 407 traffic fatalities, a drop of roughly 13 % from the prior year. Contributing factors include distracted driving, involved in over 37% of fatal collisions; speeding (New Mexico ranks second nationwide); and driving under the influence (third‑highest fatal crash rate). Inattention, failure to yield, drowsy driving and poor road conditions also play significant roles

New Mexico has some of the worst drivers in the US and consistently has one of the highest road fatality rates. Human error of some form is a factor in over 90 percent of reported crashes, and we all know how reckless New Mexico drivers can be when driving.
