Interstate Collisions and Morning Commute Hazards in Nevada
I-15 remains one of the busiest freeway corridors in Southern Nevada, especially during weekday morning hours. With high speeds, merging traffic, and dense commuter flow, the risk of collisions at interchanges like Russell Rd is a persistent concern for transportation authorities.
Data from the Nevada Department of Transportation show that freeway accidents account for a large portion of daily crash reports in Clark County. Morning incidents are often linked to driver inattention, congestion, or aggressive maneuvers as drivers attempt to change lanes or access exits.
