New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

New Mexico is home to some of the worst drivers in the country. Even if you are the safest driver on the road, another person can still leave you with serious injuries.

It’s not uncommon to see drivers acting recklessly when driving, such as racing across the highway or looking down at their phones.

Statistics show that distracted driving accounts for about 21.5 percent of collisions that result in injuries and 8.3 percent of fatalities on the state’s roadways.
