Driving recklessly is almost always seen as an unreasonable risk for not only the driver who’s engaging in such conduct, but for anyone else who may be affected by this course of conduct. Tragically, two people paid the ultimate price for reckless driving over the weekend when a 20-year-old driver raced through red lights. A crash resulted and two people were killed.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
“Two people were killed in a crash Friday night when a 20-year-old driver in a pickup was speeding and running red lights near Lamb and Las Vegas boulevards, Las Vegas police said.
Police said a 17-year-old passenger in the pickup and the female driver of the car were killed. Police did not release their identities.
After he was released from a hospital, Nathan Hardy was arrested on two felony counts of reckless driving causing a death. The crash happened about 8:40 p.m.
A 45-year-old Las Vegas woman was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla south on Las Vegas Boulevard and entered the intersection on Lamb on a green light, police said. At that time, Hardy was driving a 1992 Dodge Dakota south on Lamb. Witnesses told police the Dakota was speeding and ran several red lights. Police said the Dakota struck the right side of the Corolla.”
There was no indication given as to whether alcohol was involved, but regardless of that issue, the driver faces serious legal consequences. He could also face liability in civil court if an action is pursued.
