Reno, NV (May 4, 2024) - On Saturday, May 4, there were reported injuries after a car crash in the Reno area. The accident was reported early that morning around 3:18 a.m. near the crossing of Holcomb Avenue and Ryland Street. At least one person involved in the collision was hurt, but the number and severity of the resulting injuries have not been determined.
Emergency responders were quickly dispatched to render the necessary medical aid. The injured parties were treated at the scene before being transferred to a local hospital for further treatment. At this time, no updates on the conditions of the involved parties have been provided. Local authorities advised local motorists to avoid the scene and to prepare for delays as emergency crews worked the scene. The area was later reopened to outside traffic some hours later. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials, and more information will be released as it continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
There are certain factors that significantly raise the risk of a car crash. Almost 10 percent of the time when a driver is not paying attention to the road, their eyes are not on the road, and every day, distracted driving claims the lives of over nine individuals in the United States. Statistics show that roughly 90% of reported car crashes are the result of human error. Driving while distracted has quickly become one of the leading contributors to serious crashes in the country, and the rising use of cell phones and other mobile devices is a primary reason for this significant increase. It should be concerning to know that distracted drivers are involved in over 3,000 fatal collisions reported each year, and when driving at highway speeds, you may cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to write a text.
