Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Many drivers do not focus as much as they should on the road. According to statistics, over 10 percent of drivers who are distracted while operating a vehicle do not have their eyes on the road. Distracted driving quickly overtakes other factors as the leading cause of catastrophic collisions in the United States. Texting while driving is one of the most prevalent forms of distracted driving. In New Mexico, driver distraction is a serious issue. In a recent year, 21,894 crashes involving distracted drivers were reported in the state. Across the nation, distracted driving crashes claim the lives of nine people every day, culminating in over 3,000 fatalities annually. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road should be held responsible for any injuries and other damages in the event of an accident.
