Las Vegas, NV (June 14, 2022) – On Friday afternoon, June 10, troopers with the Nevada State Police said that they are investigating a deadly collision that involved a rolled semi-trailer truck.

According to the NSP, the collision took place on State Route 160, close to Mile Marker 13. The victim of the crash was identified as 33-year-old Raul Chagollan, from Las Vegas, per information provided by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

We would like to offer our sincerest sympathies to the family members of Raul Chagollan.

Deaths Reported in Nevada Semi-Truck Accidents

According to the latest data and accident reports provided by the Nevada Department of Transportation, the state had around 52,900 car accidents in a single year. Tractor-trailer or large vehicle accidents have considerably worse statistics. In fact, across the Silver State, truck-related deaths accounted for almost 10% of all traffic fatalities. Considering the vastness of Nevada’s highways and roadways, major truck accidents occur all too often throughout the state.

Worse still, a tragic fact is that these accidents resulted in the deaths of 4,780 people, proving that the frequency of tractor-trailer accidents in Nevada is high. In particular, this is true on major routes such as Highway 95 and Interstate 15, both traversing major urban areas like Las Vegas and  Reno, as well as other multi-lane highways, including Nevada Interstate 395 through Carson City.
