Henderson Woman in Super Bowl Sunday Crash Pleads to Reckless Driving
Last week, Henderson resident Amanda Werber pleaded guilty to child endangerment and breaking Nevada reckless driving law (NRS 484.377) for a rollover crash on Super Bowl Sunday that injured two people. She was originally charged with driving under the influence. District judge Elissa Cadish gave her a suspended sentence of five years and a $2,000 fine.
NRS 484.377 defines reckless driving in Nevada as the willful disregard of the safety of persons or property while operating a motor vehicle. Reckless driving also comprises unauthorized speed contests on public highways.
People convicted of breaking NRS 484.377 face mandatory fines and possible jail time of up to six months. The fine for a first offense is $250 to $1000, the fine for a second offense is $1000 to $1500, and the fine for a third offense is $1500 to $2000. Their drivers license will be suspended for six to twenty-four months. And if the Nevada reckless driving involved speed racing, the judge will also order 50 to 200 hours of community service.
