Dangers of Highway Crashes in Nevada
Highways like US-93 often see high-speed travel, making collisions more severe. Common factors contributing to highway accidents include:
- Driver fatigue – Long stretches of road can lead to drowsy driving.
- High speeds – Faster travel increases impact force and injury risk.
- Limited visibility – Rural roads often have fewer lighting and warning signs.
According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), thousands of injury-related crashes occur statewide each year. Rural highways pose unique risks due to longer emergency response times and fewer nearby medical facilities.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, taking immediate steps can help with recovery. Seek medical attention, document the scene, and explore available legal options.
