Las Vegas, NV (May 25, 2022) – At least one person was injured in a significant auto crash that took place on Wednesday, May 25, in the city of Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

It is thought that one driver struck another before fleeing the area, at the junction of southbound Jones Boulevard and westbound Warm Springs Road. At around 8:15 p.m., members of the community’s emergency services responded to the location and began providing assistance. The LVMPD reports that the accident involved two or three drivers and that one of them left without stopping.

Because one of the patients needed more extensive care for their injuries, they were transported by ambulance to a nearby medical facility. There is no information on the specific number of people who were injured nor the circumstances that led to the accident. As a result of the ongoing nature of the inquiry, the authorities have not released any details regarding the suspect driver or their vehicle.

Those who were harmed in this crash are in our thoughts, and we hope that they are able to make a complete recovery.

Injuries in Nevada Hit-and-Run Accidents

Hit-and-run accidents are those in which at least one driver involved departs the site of the accident without rendering assistance to victims or providing information to other motorists. These collisions, which are also referred to as “hit-skip” collisions, are dangerous for every person on our roadways, particularly pedestrians, cyclists, and the like.

According to data made available to the public by Nevada’s Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Silver State is one of the worst offenders in the country when it comes to the number of hit-and-run occurrences that result in fatalities. What’s more, this number takes on an even more alarming tone when placed in context with the national average for the United States as a whole. At the national level, an accident involving a driver who hits someone and then flees the scene occurs every minute.

As a direct consequence, victims who are impacted by one of these automotive accidents usually endure severe financial difficulties, tremendous bodily pain and suffering, and intense mental agony. In addition, if the person who caused the accident drives away from the scene without offering help or sharing information with the victim, the victim may be at a loss as to where they might seek assistance, and this could make the situation much worse. That’s why, if you were injured in a hit-and-run accident, the first thing you should do is get in contact with a personal injury attorney in Las Vegas as soon as you possibly can.
