Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Distracted driving has quickly become one of the main reasons why serious accidents happen all over the country. An investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that distracted driving led to 324,000 accidents in a recent year. People between the ages of 15 and 20 make up about seven percent of fatal accidents caused by distracted driving. Unfortunately, a lot of people die every year because drivers aren't paying attention behind the wheel.
