Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Nevada has a big problem with people driving while distracted. This careless behavior has quickly become one of the main reasons for major accidents in the United States. About 52 percent of the state's fatal distracted driving accidents happen on city streets, and statistics show that men between the ages of 26 and 30 are most likely to be killed in these accidents. The most distracted driving accidents happen in Clark County than anywhere else in the state. A driver will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time when they are distracted while driving.
