About 12:20 p.m., Nevada Highway Patrol troopers responded to a crash on the Las Vegas Beltway at Charleston Boulevard, according to a Highway Patrol news release.
A Chevrolet Equinox was traveling southbound on the Charleston Boulevard southbound off-ramp, making a left turn on a green light, when a Honda was traveling westbound ran a red light and struck the Equinox in the intersection, the release said.
