The Nevada Office of Traffic Safety released its December 2025 Statewide Fatal Report, and the numbers are lower compared to last year. In December 2025, 30 lives were claimed on Nevada’s roadways compared to 33 in December 2024. According to preliminary data, there were 381 road fatalities in Nevada in 2025, compared to 420 this time last year, marking a decrease of 9.29%.
This decrease shows progress in making Nevada’s roads safer, while reminding us that every death on our roads is one too many and we still have much work yet to do to ensure everyone arrives home safe. As we begin the new year, the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety reminds all drivers to practice safe driving year-round to prevent crashes, injuries, and fatalities on our roadways.
Attached is the state’s December 2025 Fatal Report in full. Please note that this report is a point in time comparison. 2025 data is preliminary and does not necessarily include final reports (Form 5, Coroner, and/or Toxicology reports). 2025 data will not be final until early 2027.
Interviews with Office of Traffic Safety PIO Anita Pepper available upon request.

Note to reporters: We would appreciate your support in saying ‘crash’ instead of ‘accident’ when reporting. Crashes are completely preventable and not an accident.
About Zero Fatalities
Nevada’s Zero Fatalities Program is all about eliminating fatalities on Nevada roadways. Some people may think zero is an impossible goal, but when it comes to your family and friends, what other number would be acceptable? We’re aiming for zero because everyone matters. The road to zero targets key behaviors like buckling up, being pedestrian and motorcycle safe, eliminating impaired driving, focusing on the road, and stopping on red.
