Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

The road isn't always safe, and drivers who don't pay attention make the road even more dangerous. Distracted driving is the main cause of car accidents in New Mexico, as well as the main cause of deaths and major injuries across the country. Careless drivers hurt more than 400,000 people and kill over 3,000 every year. At highway speeds, you can go the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message, which is more than enough time to cause a crash that changes your life.
