New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Every year, more and more automobile accidents are caused by distracted driving, which is becoming more and more common in the United States. It makes sense that drivers pose a major risk to everyone when they are staring down at their phones rather than on the road. Driver distraction is a serious issue in New Mexico, where it contributes significantly to the annual death toll from car accidents. According to data, driver inattention accounts for about 36 percent of road deaths in New Mexico, making it one of the worst states in the country for distracted driving crashes.
