Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Serious motor accidents can happen for many reasons, but one of the main contributors to traffic accidents in New Mexico is driver distraction. Based on the most recent crash statistics, distracted driving accounts for about 22 percent of crashes in the state. Recent research has even suggested that driving while distracted can be equally dangerous as driving while intoxicated. More than 3,000 people are killed each year by distracted drivers nationwide. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for their role.
