The crash happened just after 5 p.m. near U.S. Highway 95 and Summerlin Parkway, Highway Patrol spokesman Travis Smaka said.
For the scam, a woman would approach Spanish-speaking, Hispanic women over 50 and ask for help cashing a lottery ticket, police said. The scammer would say she was unable to cash the ticket due to her legal status in the country.
Las Vegas police said a series of shootings last week, including two that left homeless men dead as they slept on the sidewalk, appear to be related.
