Do Car Accidents Happen Often in Reno, NV?
Nevada doesn’t publish data on the total number of traffic accidents yearly. However, thanks to its Vision Zero initiative, the state is very focused on the number of fatal crashes that happen annually. In 2020, there were 293 fatal car accidents in Nevada, resulting in 317 deaths. That year, 22 of those fatal crashes and 23 of the state’s car accident fatalities happened in the city of Reno.
That’s nearly two fatal car wrecks in Reno every month. In 2021, accident fatalities increased statewide, with a total of 349 deaths reported after crashes in Nevada. In the first half of 2022*, at least 144 people were killed in Nevada car accidents. At least 17 of those car crash deaths have been reported in Washoe County.
