High-speed Collisions in Nevada
A major accident can be caused by almost any type of reckless driving. However, probably one of the most prevalent in Nevada is speeding. In 2021, high-speed collisions accounted for 29 percent of all fatal auto accidents in the United States. Speeding drivers contributed to over 12,000 on the nation's roads that year, with an estimated 33 fatalities every day. When you drive too fast, you run a considerably higher chance of losing control of your car, and it takes much longer to stop completely. This combination has the potential to be lethal and has been linked to about one-third of recorded traffic fatalities in the past several years.
