Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Crash statistics show that driver distraction is a major cause of serious auto accidents in the United States and is on the rise. Distracted driving is thought to be a factor in 3,500 collisions that take place each year, killing an estimated 8 people per day. 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 2018 involved a distracted driver.
