LAS VEGAS (KSVN & MyNews3) -- A triple fatality over the weekend has some in the valley talking about Nevada’s seatbelt law.
Right now, it’s a secondary offense meaning police need some other reason to pull you over first. But, is that enough?
News 3's Denise Rosch is near Windmill and Green Valley Parkway where two teenage boys, and an elderly man died on Saturday.
We recently learned the teens were not buckled up. Friends say a third teenager in the car was buckled up and he did survive. He is recovering now with numerous broken bones.
This is a story that really hits home for another local family. Two years ago 18-year-old Monica Mapile was killed in a car accident.
Her family thinks if Monica had been buckled in she might have survived. Now friends of Monica have an on-line petition to make seatbelt usage in Nevada a primary offense. They say the goal is to spare other families the grief they live with every day.
