Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico drivers are not known for paying attention to the road. Actually, the state is home to some of the worst drivers in the nation, and many of them freely admit to using their phones and indulging in other forms of distracted driving when behind the wheel of a car. In a recent year, driver distraction was one of the main causes of auto accidents in New Mexico, accounting for about 21.5 percent of injury crashes and 8.3 percent of fatal collisions. Statistics show that each year in the United States, distracted drivers result in over 3,000 fatalities and hundreds of thousands of serious injuries.
