Distracted Driving Crashes in New York
One of the main reasons for severe collisions these days is driver distraction. Each year, distracted drivers in the country result in over 400,000 serious injuries and over 3,000 fatalities. New York drivers have a bad reputation for being distracted when behind the wheel. Between 2017 and 2021, there were 4,785 fatal crashes in the state that resulted from driver distraction accounting for nearly 12 percent of all collisions. Nearly 80 percent of recorded car crashes nationally are related to distracted driving, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). You can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text while traveling at highway speeds.
