Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
According to statistics, vehicle accidents are Nevada's leading contributor to death and serious injuries. The state is seeing an increase in the number of fatal collisions. There were 304 fatal collisions recorded in the state in a recent year. Reno, a thriving city in Washoe County, experiences nearly 13 percent of the state's reported accidents, according to the latest crash statistics. Every year, hundreds of people in Nevada lose their lives, with many more being seriously hurt, and nearly half of the state's crashes involve drunk drivers.
