Reno, NV (September 5, 2024) – On Wednesday, September 4, at least one person sustained injuries in the aftermath of a car crash in the Reno area. At around 3:17 p.m., the accident was first reported at the intersection of E. 8th Street and Evans Avenue. The injured parties were provided aid at the scene by attending medical personnel.
Ambulances were available to transport the involved parties to nearby hospitals for further treatment. At this time, the circumstances leading to the crash have not been determined. The severity and number of the resulting injuries were not reported by local sources. The roadway was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present. The site was later reopened after tow trucks were able to remove the resulting debris. Local law enforcement officials are in charge of the ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Nevada High-Speed Collisions
There are a lot of things that can lead to a serious accident, but some behaviors are much more likely to end in a fatal crash. In the United States, over the last 20 years, nearly one-third of all road deaths have been caused by drivers who were going too fast. About 10,000 people are killed every year in the United States in high-speed collisions. Nevada drivers are also guilty of this dangerous habit. More than 32 percent of road deaths in the state are caused by speeding drivers, according to the numbers. Drivers who speed and cause a major accident should pay for the injuries and other damages that happen as a result.
You need to be ready to act if there is a major car accident. Sometimes, your whole way of life can be at risk. If you want to hold the person responsible accountable, you need to be ready to file a case. Victims who were not at fault should not have to pay for a careless driver's actions. Unfortunately, it can be hard to file a personal injury claim by yourself. If you or someone you care about was hurt in a car crash, you should work with a skilled personal injury lawyer to make sure you get the most money possible. This can help you get the most out of your healing and improve your chances of winning your case.
