A 94-year-old man died Thursday afternoon after a three-vehicle crash in the west valley, Las Vegas police said.
The Las Vegas man’s name was not released.
The accident occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Charleston Boulevard near Hualapai Way.

Both the pickup and Impala traveled northeast, crossing the median into westbound Charleston. The pickup then struck a Nissan Versa. The driver of the Versa was uninjured.
The 94-year-old man died at University Medical Center.
Five other people ranging in ages from 23 to 61 suffered minor injuries.
