Common Causes of Intersection Crashes
Busy intersections like S Valley View Blvd and W Warm Springs Rd often see high accident rates due to congestion and driver-related errors. Some of the most frequent causes of crashes include:
- Distracted driving – Using a phone or failing to focus on the road can lead to collisions.
- Failure to yield – Misjudging right-of-way increases the risk of side-impact crashes.
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Clark County reports the highest number of traffic crashes in the state each year. Many of these accidents lead to medical expenses, lost wages, and legal challenges for those involved.
After an accident, seeking medical care, documenting the scene, and understanding available legal options can be crucial steps toward recovery.
