The Decatur Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue intersection was closed in all directions Monday night after a man crashed into a wall, Las Vegas police said.

The 33-year-old man was eastbound on Hacienda when he swerved into the westbound lanes, headed off the road and into a wall about 7 p.m., police said.

The man was taken to Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center and is in critical condition.

Police believe a medical episode is what caused the crash.
