Speeding-Related Crashes in Albuquerque

When a driver exceeds the speed limit, they are putting themselves and others at risk of suffering serious injuries in a car accident, and speeding is incredibly commonplace on the streets of Albuquerque. National statistics show that thousands of Americans are killed annually in high-speed crashes. New Mexico is ranked twelfth nationally for speeding-related accidents according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

Car crashes in New Mexico are caused by a variety of roadway hazards, such as poor driving, excessive speed, unsafe road conditions, poor truck maintenance, road construction, and inadequate signage.
