Yesterday, we discussed a tragic and fatal Las Vegas auto accident that killed two adults and injured two children that occurred on Lake Mead Boulevard in a relatively remote area east of the Las Vegas valley.  While the investigation surrounding that incident continues, this development has also prompted officials to speak out about the dangers involved with driving that stretch of road.

The area concerned, rural Lake Mead Boulevard, is a two-lane highway in terms of its design and use that involves several hills, curves and does not have lighting that would make it easier for motorists to navigate through the area.  Given all of these elements and the tendency for some people to speed and to take unnecessary risks on the assumption that nothing bad can happen in such a place, the area has become highly dangerous for motorists.

Nevada Auto Accident Statistics

Overall, thousands of Nevada auto accidents occur every year, and on average, 400 people are killed in Nevada auto accidents annually.  When specifically dealing with this stretch of Lake Mead Boulevard, officials have pointed out that three people have died in accidents in this area since January 1st of 2010, and that three other fatal Las Vegas auto accidents have taken place here over the past two years.  As would be expected, authorities are encouraging drivers who use this stretch of road to buckle up for safety, to slow down and to proceed along this route with caution given its recent track record.
