Where Is the New Mexicans to Prevent Car Violence When You Need Them

Scene in front of our house yesterday as a motorist came sailing down our street, hit my wife's car, and flipped her own upside down. Please drive carefully. The life you save may be your own, even if you don't care about mine.

Note added later: I was reassured by city officials that speeding is not a problem here. Yet those of us who live here can likely attest that those travelling above the vaunted 85th percentile are not safe drivers. Especially when they run the stop sign at the little traffic circle at Alamo and then come sailing down the street on their cell phones. Crucitas acts like a collector as it accesses NM 599, the dog park, and points west.

Wheel shattered and driven into the chassis, control arm looks like it is toast, not sure what else underneath is damaged, in addition to the obvious. Note added later: the car was declared totalled on examination in a collision shop from chassis and running gear damage.

Cars are not supposed to be upside down. I was told by a witness that the motorist was taken to the ER after being helped out of this vehicle.
