Rural highways like US-95 are critical routes in Nevada but are also prone to accidents due to high-speed traffic and limited visibility during early morning hours. Collisions on such roadways can often result in significant injuries due to the higher impact speeds typically associated with highway travel.
Factors contributing to accidents on rural highways include speeding, distracted driving, and fatigue. Reduced visibility in early morning conditions can further heighten the risks of collisions.
After a traffic accident, it is essential for victims to prioritize safety. This includes seeking immediate medical attention, contacting emergency services, and documenting the scene for future reference. Such steps can be crucial for supporting insurance claims or legal proceedings.
