Sources
Aggravated DWI – A driver arrested for 1) driving with a BAC of 0.16 or higher, 2) driving under the influence of alcohol
or drugs and causing bodily injury to a human being as a result, or 3) driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and
refusing to submit to a BAC test at the time of arrest for DWI.
Alcohol-involved Crash – A crash for which the Uniform Crash Report indicated that 1) a DWI citation was issued, 2)
alcohol was a contributing factor, or 3) a person in control of a vehicle (including a pedestrian or pedalcyclist) was
suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.
Alcohol-involved Driver – A person in control of a vehicle who was cited for DWI or indicated on the Uniform Crash
Report as being either suspected or determined by testing to be under the influence of alcohol. There can be multiple
alcohol-involved drivers in a single alcohol-involved crash.
Crash – A reported incident on a public roadway involving one or more motor vehicles that resulted in death, personal
injury, or at least $500 in property damage. Crashes on private property (such as a parking lot) are not included.
DWI Arrest (Citation) – In this report, a DWI arrest (a.k.a. a DWI citation) is a driver arrested for either DWI or
aggravated DWI. New Mexico’s legal limit for presumption of driving while intoxicated (DWI) is 0.08 for non-
commercial drivers older than 21 years of age, 0.04 for commercial vehicle drivers, and 0.02 for drivers younger than
21 years of age.
DWI Conviction – A driver convicted of driving under the intoxicating influence of alcohol, narcotics, or pathogenic
drugs, including aggravated DWI.
Fatal Crash – A crash in which at least one person was killed. More than one person can be killed in a single fatal crash.
Fatalities – The number of people killed in a crash. The terms “killed” and “deaths” are synonymous with “fatalities.” A
fatality is crash-related if it occurs at the time of the crash or if the person(s) involved in the crash dies within 30 days.
Injury Crash – A reported crash in which at least one person was injured. Injury crashes involve at least one suspected
serious injury (Class A), suspected minor injury (Class B), or possible injury (Class C). Fatal crashes are not included.
Missing Data – An indication that the applicable field on the UCR form was left blank or contained an invalid code.
Starting with crashes that occurred in 2012, improvements in the identification of missing data in the NMDOT crash
database led to an increase in the reported amount of missing data.
Pedalcyclist – A person riding a mechanism of transport that is powered solely by pedals (a.k.a. bicyclist).
Pedestrian – A person on foot, walking, running, jogging, hiking, sitting or lying down who is involved in a motor vehicle
traffic crash.
Definitions
Crash Data – New Mexico Department of Transportation, Traffic Safety Division, Traffic Records Bureau, Traffic Crash
Database, as of the report date below. Crash data are compiled using NMDOT Uniform Crash Reports (UCR), submitted by law
enforcement agencies in the state, for any incident on a public roadway involving one or more motor vehicles that resulted in
death, injury, or at least $500 in property damage. These reports are processed by the NMDOT Traffic Records Bureau and
analyzed by the University of New Mexico, Geospatial and Population Studies, Traffic Research Unit (TRU).
DWI Citation Tracking System (CTS) – New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department (NM TRD), Motor Vehicle Division
(MVD), DWI Citation Tracking System (CTS), as of October 2020. Repeat offenders are identified by the combination of
account key, arrest date, and citation number. County data are based upon the county where the arrest took place. City data
are based upon the city where the offender resides.
Urban Areas – Areas defined by the New Mexico Department of Transportation, Asset Management and Planning, 2010 U.S.
Census Urbanized Area Boundaries, NMDOT-Adjusted, and U.S. Census Urban Clusters, August 21, 2013. Urban areas for crash
years 2013-2017 include a 1/2 mile buffer extending out from those urban boundaries. In crashes before 2013, “urban” was
defined as a town or city with a population of at least 2,500 people.
