New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Almost every day, we all see drivers with their eyes on their phones, and this is a problem that is spreading across the country. Statistics show that about 41 percent of fatal accidents in the United States are caused by drivers who are not paying attention. In New Mexico, an alarmingly high number of accidents are caused by careless drivers. The state’s number of distracted driving-related accidents is nearly five times the national average. These numbers should worry anyone who has to drive in the state, and they should always remember that a driver who isn’t paying attention could cause an accident at almost any time.
