State Route 140 is a significant roadway in Nevada, often used for commercial transport and rural travel. While traffic volumes may be lower compared to urban highways, high speeds, wildlife crossings, and unpredictable road conditions can contribute to serious crashes.
According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), rural road accidents account for a significant portion of fatal and severe injury crashes statewide. Limited access to immediate medical care in remote areas can increase the risks associated with injuries sustained in these accidents.
