One would assume that driving in an area near the desert with no one around would present little danger to a passenger. While that may normally be true, it proved to be anything but for an area woman who was killed in a one-vehicle Las Vegas car accident early this morning. The driver of the [...]

When we learn to drive, one of the fundamental lessons we are all taught is to approach our navigation defensively, remaining vigilant for the mistakes of others so that we can avoid a serious accident.
