Reno, NV (August 31, 2024) - On Friday, August 30, there were reported injuries after a car crash in the Reno area. The accident was reported that night around 10:41 p.m. near the crossing of Kietzke Lane and East Moana Lane. 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.
Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
There are some things that make the chance of a crash much higher. A driver will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time when they are not paying attention behind the wheel, and every day, nearly nine people die because of drivers that were not paying attention while driving in the United States. About 90 percent of all crashes are caused by human error, and distracted driving is quickly becoming the main reason for car accidents in the United States, according to new data. Over 3,000 people are killed every year in car accidents involving distracted drivers. At highway speeds, you could cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a text message.
Your entire way of life is often at risk after a car crash. Most people cannot afford to cover the losses that result from a crash, so you need to be sure your legal rights are protected. You must be prepared to take action in order to maximize your recovery. You should not try to handle your case by yourself. Too much is at risk.
