Reno, NV (May 15, 2024) - There were confirmed injuries resulting from an auto accident in the Reno area on Tuesday, May 14. The accident took place on US-395 NB near N. McCarran Boulevard that evening around 6:34 p.m. Emergency crews were quickly dispatched in order to render aid to the involved parties.
At this time, the severity and number of the resulting injuries have not been determined. The injured parties were treated by attending paramedics before being transferred to a local hospital by ambulance. No updates on the injured parties have been provided. The roadway was temporarily closed until tow trucks were able to remove the resulting debris. Tow trucks were later sent to clear the area and reopen the road to outside traffic. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is in the hands of 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
Speed is often involved in serious car crashes. Speeding has the ability to magnify the severity of any resulting injuries. High-speed crashes accounted for more than 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States in 2021. A total of 12,330 people lost their lives in collisions involving speeding drivers that year. Speeding makes it harder to control your vehicle while also greatly increasing stopping distance. This is a potentially fatal combo that leads to many deaths each year. Drivers who intentionally exceed the speed limit on the road should be held accountable in the event of a serious car accident. This is often only achievable if you collaborate with an experienced lawyer from the beginning of your case.
