New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

New Mexico motorists are not known for their attention to the road. Actually, some of the worst drivers in the country call the state home, and many of the drivers freely admit to using a phone and engaging in other types of distracted driving when operating a motor vehicle. Driver distraction accounted for roughly 21.5 percent of injury wrecks and 8.3 percent of death collisions in New Mexico in a recent year, making it one of the leading causes of auto accidents in the state. According to statistics, distracted drivers cause hundreds of thousands of serious injuries and over 3,000 fatalities in the United States each year.
