Deadly Nevada Roads

Published September 27, 2011 at 5:00 AM PDT

Beware!  Nevada drivers are twice as likely to die in a car crash on a rural road than other roads.  A national transportation report blamed road design, emergency response time, and people driving faster on country roads.  A transportation expert tells us what's so deadly about rural routes.
