New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

When driving in New Mexico, it is not uncommon to witness drivers engaging in distracted driving, and many of them will readily acknowledge that they have used a cell phone behind the wheel. With 61.6 distracted driving deaths per million people, New Mexico leads the nation in fatal distracted driving-related crashes. The state also has some of the highest rates of drunk drivers. Recent studies have found that distraction can be just as deadly as intoxication behind the wheel. Roughly 40.75 percent of collisions reported in the state can be attributed to distracted driving, nearly five times higher than the national average.
