Reno, NV (June 12, 2024) - On Sunday, June 9, there were reported injuries after a car crash in the Reno area. The accident was reported that evening around 5:06 p.m. near the crossing of S. Virginia Street and Mt. Rose Highway. 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.
Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
The road is far from safe, but certain things behind the wheel can make the road much more dangerous. Over nine people in the United States lose their lives to distracted driving every day. Roughly 10 percent of the time, when a driver is not paying attention behind the wheel, their eyes will be off the road. Statistics show that human error accounts for about 90 percent of reported auto accidents. The nation's most common cause of major crashes is driving while distracted, and one of the main causes of this sharp rise is the growing usage of cell phones and other mobile devices. The fact that over 3,000 fatal crashes involving distracted drivers are reported each year should be troubling. At highway speeds, you could travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text message.
