High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
There are many things that can contribute to a serious crash. One of the most common in Nevada is likely speeding. An estimated 29 percent of deadly auto accidents in the United States in 2021 involved high-speed crashes. Statistics show that more than 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers on American roads each year, and an estimated 33 people were killed daily on the nation’s roads in a recent year. Speeding can greatly increase the risk of losing control of your vehicle, and coming to a full stop requires traveling much further. This is a potentially fatal combination that has contributed to nearly one-third of reported roadway deaths in recent years.
