1 dead, 2 injured in central Las Vegas crash
A Las Vegas woman died in a crash involving two vehicles in central Las Vegas on Wednesday, police said.
The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. at the intersection of South Jones Boulevard and West Katie Avenue, according to a Metropolitan Police Department press release.
A black 2014 Chevrolet Cruze driven by a 20-year-old Las Vegas man was traveling along South Jones Boulevard toward West Katie Avenue “at a high rate of speed,” as a black 2015 Hyundai Sonata headed north on Jones attempted to make a left turn at Katie, police said.
The front of the Chevrolet struck the right side of the Hyundai, according to the release.
Three people were taken to University Medical Center. A 74-year-old passenger of the Hyundai died at the hospital and the two drivers suffered minor injuries, police said.
The Clark County coroner’s office identified the woman as Connie Sheets.
