Las Vegas, NV (October 3, 2022) – This afternoon, at about 2:15 p.m., local police began looking into a large truck crash that was reported near the Henderson area.

The police were called to the junction of U.S. 95 and Eastern Avenue after a reported truck accident. At the time this was written, at least one of the vehicles involved in the crash had already left the site. The second motorist and their passenger were flown to Las Vegas for further medical examination.

The responding EMTs have not yet reported the severity of the victim’s injuries. The Metro Police Department has not released any new information on the incident or its victims.

The injured victims remain in our thoughts at this time. We hope for their complete recovery.

Nevada Vehicle Accidents & Victim Injuries

Drunk driving causes over 40 deaths daily in the United States. Even though fatalities have decreased by 30% over the last three decades, some 10,000 people still lose their lives every year in the United States due to drunk driving. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sobriety checkpoint data from 2013 and 2014 are presented, and the driving population of the 48 contiguous states was surveyed to provide insight.

Data provided to law enforcement suggests that driving while distracted occurs when a driver’s attention is taken from the road, and more than a quarter of weekend drivers tested positive for substances that potentially impair driving. When drivers are careless, they pose a significant threat to pedestrians and other road users. Others on the road are in danger when drivers are distracted. Distracted driving includes activities such as talking on a portable phone or music player, texting, and driving.

In 2016, more than 3,500 people were killed in automobile accidents across the United States. It is possible that distracted driving contributed to some of these fatalities. Over the past decade, hit-and-run accidents have increased by 12%. There is a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a $2,000 fine in Nevada for fleeing the scene of an accident you caused. However, if you were injured in a car crash, you might seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance provider.
