The latest fatal Nevada motorcycle accident occurred on Sunday just after 2 p.m. on northbound U.S. 95 at milepost 39.  This was a one-vehicle accident that involved the driver of the motorcycle and a passenger.  The driver was a man and the passenger was a woman, and their names have not yet been released pending notification of their families.  No details were provided regarding how the accident occurred, but police stated that an investigation into the cause of the crash is now underway and will continue until all of the information surrounding it are gathered.

Fatal Nevada Motorcycle Accidents

First, we'd like to extend our sincere condolences to the families of the people who lost their lives in this Nevada motorcycle accident.  No one should have to accept a call or a visit from officials giving them this sort of tragic news, but two families will have to endure such an experience.  We hope that those families are somehow able to overcome what will certainly be a shocking amount of grief and sadness.

In addition, this latest incident will only add to the statistics regarding fatal Nevada motorcycle accidents.  According to state records, more than 50 people every year are killed in Nevada motorcycle accidents, and that number has held steady over the past several years.  That means that at least one person is killed somewhere in the state every week because of these accidents.
