Speeding-related Crashes in Nevada
In the case of an accident, speed plays an important role. It can even affect the severity of any resulting injuries as well as the likelihood of a crash. In 2021, over 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States were caused by high-speed collisions. A total of 12,330 people, or almost 33 every day, lost their lives as a result of speeding drivers that year. Speed is involved in an even higher rate of serious crashes in New Mexico. The driver who chooses to go over the speed limit should be held responsible for all injuries and property damage in the event of an accident.
