New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Distracted driving has swiftly risen to the top of the national list of factors contributing to fatal collisions. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico has one of the highest percentages of collisions involving distracted drivers, and recent studies indicate that driving when distracted can pose the same risk to drivers as driving while intoxicated. Most distracted driving accident victims are under twenty years old, and human error plays a role in the majority of these collisions. Every year, distracted driving results in over 3,000 fatalities and hundreds of thousands of catastrophic injuries. Approximately 10 percent of the time, distracted drivers divert their attention from the road.
