Reno, NV (April 10, 2024) - At least one person suffered injuries in the aftermath of an auto accident in Reno on Tuesday, April 9. The collision took place that afternoon around 3:07 p.m. at the intersection of Airway Drive and Longley Lane. Emergency crews were quickly dispatched to provide aid to the involved parties, and those requiring further treatment were later hospitalized for additional treatment.
The roadway was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present. Tow trucks were needed to clear the resulting debris and reopen the area to outside traffic. The severity and number of the resulting injuries were not provided in the initial reports. No additional information on the crash is currently available. Local law enforcement officials are handling the ongoing accident investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Drivers have a duty to pay constant attention to the road. This may sound like common sense, but a lot of drivers still fail to live up to this basic notion of operating a car. Across the nation, distracted driving is fast rising to the top of the list of causes contributing to deadly collisions. Distracted drivers caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 fatalities in total on American roads in a recent year. One in five of these victims, according to statistics, were not inside of a car. Recent studies have found that driving while distracted can be just as bad as driving while intoxicated, and both can greatly increase the risk of a crash.
Most Nevadans drive on a daily basis. Unfortunately, a catastrophic automobile accident can happen at any time since we spend so much time driving. Car accidents involving careless drivers happen all the time in the state. You need to be certain that you can make wise choices regarding your recovery. Seeing a doctor is one of the most crucial things to do after a car accident. Simply getting checked out by a physician can be used to back up your claim for compensation if you later choose to pursue a personal injury claim.
