Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
In Nevada, driving while distracted is a major problem. It is quickly rising to become one of the main causes of catastrophic crashes in the country. Distracted driving was the cause of 63 fatal collisions and 62 fatalities in Nevada during a recent four-year study. During that time, more than 52 percent of the state's fatal distracted driving collisions occurred on city streets. According to statistics, men between the ages of 26 and 30 made up the majority of victims, and Clark County had the highest rate of fatal distracted driving collisions in the state. When drivers fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash, they should be held accountable.
