Three People Injured in Multiple-Vehicle Chain Reaction Las Vegas Car Accident

Written by Las Vegas Accident Lawyers Wednesday, 24 August 2011 13:14

When traffic conditions are heavy and vehicles seem to start and stop randomly, people who happen to be behind the wheel at the time need to be even more vigilant than they normally are in order to avoid Las Vegas car accidents.  Unfortunately, when someone fails to pay attention for even one second in these conditions, that mistake can immediately lead to a disastrous crash that involves many vehicles that are in close proximity at the time.  That appears to be what occurred yesterday afternoon when three people were injured in a multiple-vehicle Las Vegas car accident.

According to the authorities, this chain reaction Las Vegas car accident occurred yesterday afternoon at 4:50 p.m.  At that time, traffic was heavy on North Jones Boulevard to the point where traffic was stopped at the intersection with West Washington Avenue.  At that point, with many vehicles stopped at a red light, another motorist came up from behind and failed to stop.  As a result, a collision ensued that soon ensnared a total of seven vehicles.  Three people were transported to a nearby hospital, but they are expected to survive.
