Study: Middle TN drivers among most distracted

Posted: Updated:
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

Drivers in several Middle Tennessee counties have claimed an unwanted honor. They are among the most distracted in the state, according to the Department of Safety.

Davidson and Rutherford counties rank in the top five when it comes to crashes caused by distracted driving.

New statewide numbers show there have been more than 6,600 crashes related to using a cell phone since 2003.

Officials remind drivers that distracted driving - including texting behind the wheel - is illegal and can lead to a ticket.
