Coroner’s office IDs 75-year-old woman who died after Monday crash
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified the 75-year-old woman who died Monday following a crash in the west Las Vegas Valley.
She was Kathryn Murphy of Las Vegas, the coroner’s office said, and she died at University Medical Center of multiple blunt force injuries after the two-vehicle crash. Her death was ruled an accident.
The Metropolitan Police Department said the crash occurred at about 9:10 a.m. Monday at Rainbow Boulevard and Eldora Avenue, south of Sahara Avenue.
Murphy was driving a 2010 Toyota Prius on Eldora when she pulled out onto Rainbow and into the path of a southbound 2019 Nissan driven by a 26-year-old woman, police said.
The 26-year-old was also taken to University Medical Center with minor injuries. Neither driver appeared to have been impaired, police said.
Murphy’s death marked the 15th traffic-related fatality Metro has investigated this year.
