Speeding-Related Crashes in Nevada
The speed involved in a crash is incredibly important. It can often mean the difference between a minor fender bender and a life-changing collision. An astounding number of traffic deaths in the United States involve speeding motorists. In 2021, nearly 29 percent of deadly collisions were high-speed impacts, resulting in 12,330 deaths in total. That is nearly 33 people dying per day in speeding-related accidents. Speeding and inclement weather can be a potentially dangerous combination. Statistics show that 22 percent of deadly speeding-related crashes take place on wet roadways, and young men are the most common demographic in these deadly accidents.
The actions of a reckless driver can cause complete and utter devastation in the event of a car accident. You can never completely control what someone else chooses to do behind the wheel, and it only takes a few seconds for your life to be turned upside down in a life-changing collision.
