Nevada Car Crashes
In Nevada, automobile accidents are the primary cause of fatalities and major injuries. Over the last ten years, the state has seen an increase in the number of fatal car crashes. In a recent year, 285 fatal car crashes were reported in Nevada, accounting for 304 fatalities. Over a thousand people suffered injuries that year. Intoxication and speeding are the main causes of serious crashes in the state. The fact that almost half of all collisions in the state involve drunk drivers illustrates how bad the problem has become in recent years.
