New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Distracted driving is a daily sight on New Mexico’s roads and highways, and far too many drivers now readily admit to using a cell phone while driving. New Mexico boasts one of the highest rates of distracted driving-related fatalities in the country, with roughly 61.6 accidents per million population. Nearly 40.75 percent of crashes in New Mexico involve distracted driving, nearly five times the national rate. You could travel the length of an entire football field in the time it takes to send a single text. This is more than enough distance to cause a crash that could impact someone’s life when driving without looking at the road.
