New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Crash statistics show that driver distraction is a major cause of serious auto accidents in the United States and is on the rise.

On average, distracted driving crashes result in more than 400,000 injuries and over 2,800 fatalities each year. Almost 15 percent of crashes with injuries in a recent year involved a distracted driver.
