Subject: Official Information Act request - Total number of crashes caused by cellphones for the years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

I am looking to write a feature on safe driving and would like a
document detailing the amount of car crashes caused by distracted
drivers using cell phones.

I would like any available data on this topic for the years 2009,
2010, 2011, 2012 and the year 2013 so far.

Yours faithfully,
Jonathan Killick
