Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

These days, a lot of drivers freely acknowledge using their phones while operating a vehicle, and sadly, it is not unusual to witness drivers on New Mexico roads engaging in these kinds of careless actions. New Mexico leads the country in fatal distracted driving accidents, with 61.6 distracted driving deaths per million people. The state also has some of the highest rates of intoxicated drivers. Distracted driving is a contributing factor in about 40.75 percent of crashes reported in the state, which is nearly five times more than the national average. With so many reckless drivers on the road, it should be no surprise that many state residents are seriously injured in car crashes every year.
