Tiffani May never saw it coming.
She was just a few minutes from home in North Las Vegas when a car came flying into an intersection at more than 100 miles an hour and crashed into hers.
“I remember getting hit, the sound of broken glass,” May said. “I remember seeing fire. And thinking, if I didn’t get out, my dog and I were gonna die right then.”
Nine people were killed in the Nevada crash in January of last year. Seven were members of a single family who were riding together in a minivan, including four brothers younger than 18.
May survived the six-vehicle crash, but it changed her life. She hasn’t given any interviews about it until now.
“I’ve been dealing with this from emotionally, spiritually, physically, cognitively, my entire being,” May said. “And I’m grieving like so many things.”
More than 40,000 people died in vehicle crashes in the U.S. last year, and speeding is a major reason why. Speed-related crashes accounted for roughly 12,000 deaths in 2021, the last year for which there are complete statistics and hundreds of thousands of injuries.
Safety advocates say it’s time for automakers to adopt new technology in cars to reduce speeding.
“We have a public health crisis, and we have to take action to prevent all of those fatalities and serious injuries,” said Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.
The NTSB studied the Las Vegas crash, meeting last month to review its findings. And for the first time, the board called for U.S. automakers to install technology to reduce speeding in all new cars.
“We felt it was time to be more aggressive with what we think needs to be done, which is adoption of the technology in vehicles to prevent speeding,” Homendy told NPR. “Nobody has a right to speed. Nobody has a right to break the law.”

Sad and many of them without a doubt could have been avoided. “More than 40,000 people died in vehicle crashes in the U.S. last year.”
