Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
As drivers, we must give the road our whole attention, but more and more, it appears that most people find this to be too challenging. Distracted driving is quickly overtaking other factors as the leading cause of fatal crashes in the country. Distracted driving resulted in 3,100 fatalities and 424,000 injuries in the United States in a recent calendar year. According to statistics, one in five of these victims was not in a moving car when the crash occurred. Nearly nine people are killed daily by distracted drivers, who have their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time.
