OSHP: Ohio Seeing Fewer Distracted Driving Crashes

(ONN) – New data from the Ohio State Highway Patrol shows distracted driving crashes are down across the state.

This comes after the state passed a new distracted driving law that prohibits drivers from using or holding a phone while behind the wheel.

Data shows since last October there have been around 1,100 fewer distracted driving crashes in Ohio.

There was also a nearly 20 percent decrease in deadly crashes from distracted driving as well.
