Arizona has some of the worst drivers in the country, according to Forbes.

The recent Forbes study analyzed data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Drivers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, were at the top of the list, while Tucson took the #4 spot. Just a bit further down the list was Phoenix in the #8 spot.

According to the analysis, Tucson ranked fourth highest for both the total number of deadly crashes and the number of people killed in crashes. Tucson was the sixth-highest for the number of deadly crashes involving speeding and the 10th-highest for the number of deadly crashes involving drunk or distracted drivers.

Phoenix is the city with the 10th highest number of deadly crashes involving speeding and the 11th highest for the total number of deadly crashes and the number of people killed in crashes.
