Reno, NV (July 3, 2024) – At least one person was hurt in the aftermath of a car accident in the Reno area on Wednesday, July 3. The crash was reported early that morning, around 12:27 a.m., at the corner of S. Virginia Street and E. Peckham Lane. Emergency crews were quickly dispatched to render aid to the involved parties.
The injured parties were treated by attending paramedics before being transferred to a local hospital by ambulance. There were confirmed injuries at the scene, but the number and severity of the resulting injuries have not been determined. The area was temporarily closed while emergency responders worked to clear the scene. Tow trucks were used to clear the site of the resulting wreckage and other debris. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
In Nevada, speeding is a widespread habit. The likelihood of fast drivers causing catastrophic vehicle accidents will always be much higher. It should come as no surprise that high speeds are a common contributing factor in serious collisions in the United States. It becomes more difficult to keep control of your vehicle and steer clear of traffic dangers while you are driving faster than what is safe for the road. This combination can be lethal when you take into account the extra distance required to stop. According to a recent five-year study by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS), speeding drivers are at fault in over 32 percent of collisions in the state, which has led to hundreds of fatalities. To pursue a solid recovery claim if you or a loved one is injured in an accident, speak with an experienced attorney.
