Distracted driving is a national issue. It is worrisome here and throughout the United States. To seek strategies to reduce its frequency and make the roads safer, researchers analyze the data for auto accidents due to texting and driving and other forms of distraction. This information can be essential for legislators and law enforcement to understand how to address this problem. Recent research indicates that there has been significant improvement in many states -- including our state -- when it comes to distracted driving. Still, there are concerns and people can be injured and lose their lives in this type of auto accident.
Distracted driver stats improve in Nevada, but concerns remain

And, while they are considered a valuable good, they are also considered dangerous because they pose the risk of serious injuries or even death in the event of a crash. A distracted, speeding or intoxicated driver is very hazardous on the roadways and an unsuspecting driver or passenger could suffer tremendously in the event of a crash.

Whether it is a fatigued driver, speeding or distractions, a truck accident could have devastating effects.
