. A task force convened by Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday that distracted driving had caused over 120 deaths in Hamilton County and nearly 80,000 crashes statewide between 2014 and 2019. "Distracted driving must become as culturally unacceptable as drunk driving is today,” DeWine said in a news conference announcing the group’s findings.
