Common Rio Rancho accidents

NM-528 Crashes

The Pat D'Arco Highway connecting Rio Rancho to Albuquerque is the city's main artery — and a major crash corridor.

Construction Zone Accidents

With rapid development, Rio Rancho has constant road construction. Construction zone crashes involving inadequate signage, missing barriers, or work zone vehicles are common.

Intersection Crashes

Rapid commercial development has created busy intersections that haven't been fully designed for the volume they now carry.
