Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving is on the rise in the United States, contributing to an increasing number of car accidents annually.

In New Mexico, driver distraction is a major problem that accounts for a large portion of the state’s annual road deaths. Statistics show that roughly 36 percent of road fatalities in New Mexico are caused by distracted driving, making it one of the worst states in the nation for these types of crashes.
