A 32-year-old Pahrump man is dead after a roll-over crash in Laughlin, but two children riding with him escaped with minor injuries.

Police said the driver, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An 8-year-old Pahrump girl and a 6-year-old Pahrump boy, who were wearing seat belts, were taken to Western Arizona Regional Medical Center with minor injuries.
