Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Across the country, distracted driving has emerged as a major contributing factor to catastrophic collisions resulting in serious injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in a recent year, distracted driving was a factor in 324,000 collisions. Of those killed by distracted driving, those between the ages of 15 and 20 account for about 7 percent of deaths. Over 3,000 people are killed by distracted drivers each year. Texting while driving is one of many examples of distracted driving that is common in Nevada, and you can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text message when traveling at highway speeds.
