Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
The road is already a dangerous place. It is even more of a danger when motorists do not even look at the road. Distracted driving is one of the quickest-growing causes of serious car crashes in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driving distraction caused 324,000 collisions in a recent year. Nearly 7 percent of all deaths involved victims from the ages 15 to 20, making up the largest demographic in these types of crashes. Texting while driving is likely the worst offender, but this is just one of many examples of distracted driving that is commonly seen on Nevada roadways.
