Reno, NV (October 1, 2024) - At least one person suffered injuries in the aftermath of a car accident in Reno on Monday, September 30. The collision took place that evening around 6:07 p.m. at the intersection of Rio Poco Road and S. McCarran Boulevard. Emergency crews were quickly dispatched to provide aid to the involved parties, and those requiring further treatment were later hospitalized for additional treatment.
The roadway was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present. Tow trucks were needed to clear the resulting debris and reopen the area to outside traffic. No additional information on the crash is currently available. Local law enforcement officials are handling the ongoing accident investigation.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Everyone has a duty to pay attention to the road when driving a car. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to live up to what should be a simple rule. Distracted driving has quickly become one of the leading factors in national roadway fatlaiites. Distracted drivers nationwide resulted in 3,100 deaths and 424,000 injuries in a recent year. Of these victims, one in five were not in a car when the accident occurred. Things such as talking with a passenger, messing with the radio, and especially texting behind the wheel can divert your attention from the road. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, you might be able to pursue a claim for compensation if a careless driver causes injury to you or a loved one.

Having a medical specialist evaluate your injuries can help you better comprehend the degree of your injuries and potentially improve your claim for compensation if you decide to take legal action later on. You can build a strong case for your claim for damages with the help of your attorney.
