The recent fatal accident occurred on a Sunday evening near the intersection of Rainbow Boulevard and Westcliff Drive. A 2007 Toyota Corolla carrying a man and a woman was attempting to turn left onto a private driveway located just south of Westcliff Drive. As they did so, a 2007 Chrysler 300 heading south on Rainbow Boulevard collided with the right front side of the Toyota. The Toyota rolled over multiple times before coming to a stop. Sadly, both of the occupants of the Toyota were\u00a0not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident<\/a>\u00a0and were thrown from the car. They were declared dead at the scene of the accident. The Chrysler continued traveling forward, running over a curb and colliding with the side of the Silver State Schools Credit Union. The driver of the Chrysler was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Based on accident reconstruction and witness accounts from the scene of the crash, Las Vegas Metro Police believe that the Chrysler was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n Speeding is one of the deadliest driving behaviors on American roads. According to the US Department of Transportation, speeding was a factor in 27% of all fatal accidents in the US in 2016. Speeding leads to fatalities for a number of reasons. Speeding reduces the amount of time that a driver has to react to a change in roadway conditions, such as a light turning red or another vehicle turning in front of the speeding car. Speed also multiplies the force of a collision, turning what could have been a minor accident into a serious or fatal collision. Drivers whose speeding results in catastrophic injuries to accident victims may face serious financial liability through a personal injury lawsuit for their dangerous behavior.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been\u00a0injured in a speeding-related accident in Nevada<\/a>, find out if you\u2019re a candidate to file a personal injury lawsuit by contacting the knowledgeable, professional, and\u00a0dedicated Las Vegas personal injury lawyers<\/a> at Carter Cullen for a free consultation at 702.800.0000<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An accident in Las Vegas has resulted in fatal injuries to two people.
