Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico
Driving distraction has become a common sight on New Mexico’s highways, and many drivers will admit to engaging in activities like using a smartphone while driving. New Mexico has some of the highest rates of drivers engaging in reckless actions, including distracted and intoxicated driving. New Mexico leads the nation in the number of fatalities caused by distracted driving. Shockingly, nearly 40.75 percent of collisions reported in the state are caused by distracted driving, nearly five times the national rate of 8.12 percent.
