Central Las Vegas Valley crash leaves man critically injuried
A crash in the central valley Wednesday morning sent one man to the hospital with critical injuries, police said.
The crash occurred about 11:40 a.m. in the intersection of East Bonneville Avenue and South 10th Street, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
In a statement, police said a 2016 Hyundai Sonata was heading south on 10th, crossing Bonneville from a two-way posted stop sign, when it was struck by a 2012 Hyundai Veloster that was heading east on Bonneville.
The Veloster struck the Sonata before continuing south over a raised curb and into a concrete retaining wall bordering 601 S. 10th St., Metro said. The Sonata continued east and its right tires went over a raised curb on Bonneville and partially over a sidewalk.
The Veloster’s driver, 85-year-old Las Vegan Alvin Taylor, was taken to University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The collision remains under investigation.
