Car Crashes in New Mexico 

The risk of a crash is present almost any time you are in a motor vehicle. According to a study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, New Mexico has one of the highest vehicle fatality rates in the nation, and an estimated one out of every 130 auto accidents in the state ends in a fatality. Someone is injured in a crash somewhere in New Mexico every 26 minutes on average. 

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.
