Dangers of Late-Night and Early-Morning Crashes
Intersections like S Decatur Blvd and W Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas often experience high traffic volume, making them common locations for accidents. Early-morning crashes pose additional risks due to:
- Reduced visibility – Low lighting can make it harder to detect hazards.
- Driver fatigue – Sleep-deprived drivers have slower reaction times and impaired judgment.
- Speeding – Less traffic can lead to drivers traveling at unsafe speeds.
According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), thousands of car accidents occur statewide each year, with many resulting in injuries. Busy intersections, multiple lanes of movement, and stop-and-go traffic further increase the likelihood of collisions.
Drivers can reduce their risk by staying alert, following traffic laws, and exercising caution when driving at night. Even responsible motorists can be affected by the actions of reckless or inattentive drivers.
