New Mexico Car Crashes

Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, there is a risk of an auto accident. There are more than 40,000 vehicle collisions reported across New Mexico each year, with an accident taking place nearly every 12 minutes. Over 25,000 people suffer injuries annually in traffic accidents across the state, with someone being injured every 26 minutes on average, according to the New Mexico Department of Transportation. 

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.
