The Clark County coroner’s office has identified the woman killed Tuesday in a southeast valley car crash.

Kelsy Nicole Carson, 35, of Henderson, was driving a silver 2004 Dodge Durango northbound on Boulder Highway about 5 p.m., Las Vegas police said. She crossed through the median at the Missouri Avenue intersection and struck a light pole.

The minivan flipped, police said, and Carson died there.
