Intersection Collisions in Albuquerque

Traveling through a busy intersection is inescapable in a large city like Albuquerque, and most drivers are well aware of the potential risks of crossing into the path of another vehicle. Intersections are the site of nearly half of all injury accidents and one-quarter of fatal collisions each year, with more than 2.5 million intersection collisions occurring annually. Intersections have become more dangerous in the past 25 years with the growing number of cars on the roads today. 

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.
