Nevada High-Speed Collisions
Speed is important in the event of a crash. It can often mean the difference between a catastrophic crash and a minor fender bender. High-speed collisions accounted for roughly 29 percent of roadway fatalities in the United States in 2021. A total of 12,330 people lost their lives in speeding-related crashes that year. Drivers who willfully drive faster than permitted on the road should be held responsible in the event of a serious collision.
