Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Distracted driving continues to be a serious problem in Nevada. A recent study found that there were nearly 63 deadly crashes in Nevada resulting in 62 fatalities during a four-year period. The majority of these accidents took place in Clark County, and almost 52 percent took place in urban areas. The most common victim in a distracted-driver crash is men between the ages of 26 and 30. More than 3,000 people are killed each year due to driver distraction across the country, and drivers who fail to live up to their duty to pay attention to the road should be held responsible in the event of a serious car crash.
