Nevada Car Wrecks
The majority of Nevadans drive every day, and the roads can be dangerous places. According to statistics, the number of serious crashes has only increased with time. One of the worst years on Nevadan roadways in recent memory was 2022. The Nevada Department of Public Safety (NDPS) reports that there were 352 fatal car crashes in the state that year, accounting for 382 fatalities. Approximately four percent of these fatal crashes occurred in Clark County. Car wrecks will remain the state's greatest source of death and serious injury as the roadways become more dangerous.
