Common Causes of Highway Collisions in Nevada
Highways like CC-215 in Las Vegas experience heavy traffic during peak hours, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Areas near interchanges, such as Aliante Pkwy, are particularly vulnerable due to merging traffic and high speeds.
Common factors contributing to crashes on Nevada highways include:
- Distracted Driving: Activities like texting or adjusting the GPS can divert attention from the road.
- Speeding: Driving too fast reduces the ability to react to sudden changes in traffic.
- Improper Merging: Failing to yield or merge correctly can lead to rear-end or side-impact collisions.
The Nevada Department of Transportation emphasizes the importance of staying alert and adhering to traffic laws to reduce accident risks. Unfortunately, accidents still occur, often leaving victims with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens.
What to Do After an Accident
For those involved in crashes, it’s crucial to:
- Seek Immediate Medical Care: Prioritize health, even if injuries seem minor.
