Talking to Death: Texts, Phones Kill 16,000: Study

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Drivers distracted by talking or texting on cell
phones killed an estimated 16,000 people from 2001 to 2007, U.S.
researchers reported on Thursday.
The estimate, one of the first scientific attempts to quantify how many
people have died in accidents caused specifically by mobile telephone
distractions, also suggests a growing number of these drivers are under
30.
"Our results suggested that recent and rapid increases in texting volumes
have resulted in thousands of additional road fatalities in the United
States," Fernando Wilson and Jim Stimpson of the University of North Texas
Health Science Center wrote in the American Journal of Public Health.
Wilson and Stimpson used details on road deaths from each state, on cell
phone ownership and data on text message volume from the Federal
Communications Commission.
They got reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
on deaths attributable to distracted driving.
"Since roughly 2001-2002, texting volumes have increased by several
hundred percent," Wilson said in a telephone interview.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
"distracted driving," where the driver's attention is focused on an
activity other than the road ahead, is a growing problem. In fact, the
proportion of fatalities linked to distracted drivers rose from 10 percent
in 2005 to 16 percent in 2009.
While the overall number of U.S. traffic deaths is on the wane--from
43,510 in 2005 to 33,808 in 2009--the percentage of fatalities associated
with driver distraction is on the rise.
Nearly one in five (18 percent) of all fatal distracted-driving crashes
last year reportedly involved cell phones as the distraction, according to
a new NHTSA study. In those crashes, the phone was either in use at the
time of the crash, or was "in the presence of the driver" when the
accident occurred.
