Good Morning, Las Vegas: Chilly start to the day, looking deeper at safety on our roadways

KTNV — Good Morning and Happy Friday, Las Vegas.

We are continuing to dig deeper into the issues on our valley roadways that make things so unsafe not only for drivers, but pedestrians as well.

Also, national issues are impacting as many gathered to protest outside ICE headquarters downtown.

But first, we are off to a very chilly start to our work week.

It is still gusty outside with winds topping out near 30 mph in the valley. Areas in the Colorado River Valley like Boulder City and Laughlin are under a Wind Advisory.

The winds are making it feel colder outside, with a high of 52 expected, but we should see a break later today into the overnight hours.

We do have a Freeze Warning ahead into the overnight hours from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, so make sure you protect those plants and pipes.

In our continued fight for safer streets, we wanted to know what areas are giving you the most trouble. That's why we're digging deeper into the new list of the top collision intersections in Metro's jurisdiction for December 2025.

50 intersections made the list as law enforcement focuses on the main issues leading to those crashes.

Hailey Gravitt reports at Charleston and Jones to track down the big issue there.
