I believe there is evidence, but that it is a small sample and therefore not as strong as the figures cited in broader studies. The first link used a figure of 5500 killed per year in the US, and a half million injured, and another study suggested those figures are low.
My point in referencing my experience with my employer was not to provide a statistically relevant study, or to sell the concept for other companies, but to give firsthand experience of the world not ending under such a policy. Life doesn't depend on making cell phone calls from moving vehicles.
