The area was temporarily closed while emergency responders were present. Tow trucks were needed to remove the resulting debris and reopen the road to outside traffic.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speed plays a significant role in serious collisions. It frequently makes the difference between a serious accident and a small fender-bender. In 2021, almost 29 percent of road deaths in the United States were caused by high-speed collisions. In all, 12,330 people died in crashes involving speeding motorists that year. Speeding drivers are much less able to control their vehicles, and more than 30 percent of reported traffic fatalities in Nevada involve high-speed impacts. In the event of a serious auto accident, drivers who purposefully go over the speed limit should be held responsible. You might be able to file a personal injury claim in order to achieve a recovery, but this is usually only possible if you work with an expert attorney from the beginning of your case.
