「歩き[スマホ](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/42582/)の[事故](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/46007/)」とは、「歩きスマホが[原因](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36358/)で起きる事故」という意味ですから、accidents caused by ~ の形で言うことができます。accidents caused by human error なら「人的ミスによる事故」、accidents caused by heavy rain なら「豪雨による事故」となりますがここでは、事故を起こすのはスマホ歩きをする人たちなので、accidents caused by people ~ と続きます。
「社会問題になる」は、become a social problem や become a problem for society で言えます。
Accidents involving walking while using your smartphone is becoming a social problem
Accidents because of the use of smartphones while walking is becoming a social problem
「[事故](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/46007/)」"Accidents" ※社会問題になっているのが一件の事故ではなく、何件も発生している前提ですのでここでは複数系です。
「の」を表す言葉として"involving"だと歩きスマホが要因の一つ、"because"だと歩きスマホが最大・唯一の要因という意味合いです。より歩きスマホが[原因](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/36358/)と強調したい場合は後者がいいかもしれません。
「歩きスマホ」"walking while using your smartphone" "use of smartphones while walking" そのまま直訳はないので少し長めの訳になっています。共に「歩きスマホ」という意味としてわかってもらえますが前者は"your"とあるので対話で話す相手がいる場合です。直訳すると「あなたのスマホ」と特定しているように見えますが、前提として事故に関連する人とくみ取ってくれます。
「[社会問題](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/87686/)」"social problem"となりますが、ニュアンスとして日本ではメディアが取り上げるか否かで決まるように感じますが、英語だともう少し規模が小さくても使われる印象があります。学校内やコミュニティでも"social problem"にはなりえます。ですので規模の大きな社会問題というニュアンスを伝えたい場合は"across Japan"「日本中で」という言葉も加えるとわかりやすいです。
People who text and walk are becoming a social problem.
There is a common phrase "don't text and drive" to warn people off of using their phones when driving because it is dangerous. We don't mean just texting, it means any phone use. So we also use this for people who use their phones while walking. They are always looking down when texting, using social media, surfing the net, etc.
危険なので、運転する際に携帯電話を使用する人々への警告のための一般的なフレーズとして
"don't text and drive"
「運転しながらメールしないように」
というものがあります。
これはただの文字通りの意味だけでなく、電話の使用自体を意味します。
そのため、歩行中に携帯電話を使用する人にもこのフレーズを使用します。
メッセージを送るときやソーシャルメディアを利用している際、またはネットをサーフィンするときなど、人はいつも下を見ていますね。

Accidents involving pedestrians who use their cell phones while walking have become a serious societal problem.
The use of the noun 'pedestrians' in this sentence instead of 'people who are walking' is appropriate. It is very dangerous for pedestrians to be either texting or talking on their cell phones while they are crossing roads that are used by motor vehicles. Often, the pedestrian loses focus and walks into the road without checking for oncoming traffic first of all. This often results in the pedestrian being knocked down by a car. Society becomes seriously affected by such avoidable accidents.
So, you may say:
Accidents involving pedestrians who use their cell phones while walking have become a serious societal problem.
pedestrians' という名詞の使い方はこの文章では'people who are walking'
（歩行者）の意味で使われています。
携帯電話でメールを打ったり、話をしながら車道を渡ることはとても危険です。しばしば、歩行者は集中しておらず、車が来ているか確認せずに渡ろうとすることがあります。 このしばしば起こることによって歩行者は車に轢かれてしまうことがあります。 そのような避けられたはずの事故は社会に様々な悪影響を及ぼします。 ですので、次のように言うことができます。:
"Accidents involving pedestrians who use their cell phones while walking have become a serious societal problem".
（歩きながら使う携帯電話による事故は重大な社会問題になっています。）
People using mobile phones whilst walking are a danger both to themselves and others
Using mobile phones and walking at the same time is an accident waiting to happen

明らかに危ない、あるいはなにか悪いことが起きる可能性がある状況であるとき、次のように言えます。
'an accident waiting to happen.'
