Fatalities due to impaired driving and riding continue to be a top traffic issue on Nevada’s roadways and with overall fatalities at an increase in comparison to this time last year, the Nevada Highway Patrol is working in conjunction with agencies aligned with Joining Forces to boost enforcement efforts.
Impaired driving fatalities have consistently been the most common cause of motor vehicle accidents resulting in injuries and death in Nevada.
