Traffic deaths tied to driving while distracted by activities such as talking on a mobile phone or eating fell 6 percent last year from the previous 12 months, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said.

“These numbers show that distracted driving remains an epidemic in America, and they are just the tip of the iceberg,” LaHood said today in an e-mailed statement.
