A driver hospitalized Tuesday morning after a crash that shut down an east Las Vegas intersection was expected to survive, according to Las Vegas police.
About 6:20 a.m., an SUV rear-ended a two-door car at East Harmon Avenue and South Sandhill Road, sending the driver of the smaller vehicle to a local hospital with serious injuries, said Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Larry Hadfield.
It was not unclear whether the SUV driver was suspected of impairment, he said.
