The top official of the Metropolitan Police Department said he is tired of his officers having to deal with “broken and mangled” bodies on the streets of the Las Vegas Valley, the result of fatal accidents caused by poor driving.

Seat belts were once simple straps that mainly served to avoid being tossed from automobiles on bumpy roads. Even then, most drivers and passengers didn’t bother with them.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s top cop said he’s tired of his officers having to deal with “broken and mangled” bodies on Las Vegas Valley roads, the result of fatal crashes caused by bad driving.

Drip, drip, drip. That’s the sound of Jeremy Cho’s atmospheric water harvesting device extracting humidity from the air to make usable water in Da Kine Lab at UNLV.

A rise in traffic fatalities is raising concerns among the community as Las Vegas Metropolitan Police report 111 deaths so far in 2024. That number is getting closer to the nearly 160 people reported dying in collisions in 2023.

According to researchers at UNLV, atmospheric water harvesting may pose a solution to our valley’s water woes, and a new startup called WAVR aims to push the technology into the real word.

A 16-year-old is accused of driving without a license while also carrying an 11-year-old passenger when the car hit another vehicle, killing two men according to Las Vegas Police. “Any time you have a situation where you have speed on one vehicle and low speed on the other vehicle, we see the people in the low-speed vehicle being the ones who lose their lives,” Erin Breen, the director of the Road Equity Alliance Project at UNLV said.

If you drive down Via Inspirada in Henderson, there are a few places that just look like the desert. However, a specific lot, off of Via Inspirada and Larson Lane, will soon become a new Haas Automation manufacturing facility.

As Southern Nevada continues its efforts on water conservation, UNLV is hoping to create a solution to Southern Nevada’s water shortage with its newest device to harvest atmospheric water vapor.

UNLV became the first school in the Nevada System of Higher Education to launch a plan to address climate change, unveiling it at a kickoff event on Friday afternoon. Known as the Rebel Climate Action Plan (CAP), the document is a roadmap for how the school will meet its goal of slashing its greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2030 and becoming net zero by the university’s 100th birthday in 2057. Net zero refers to a state where the carbon dioxide UNLV is putting into the atmosphere is offset with the amount removed, thus not contributing to warming.
