Las Vegas man killed in single-vehicle crash last weekend ID’d
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a man who died Saturday after a single-vehicle crash in the northeast Las Vegas Valley.
Jose Luis Flores, 50, was driving a 2001 silver Ford Ranger around 12:03 a.m. Saturday when he veered off the road on East Washington Avenue, east of North Linn Lane, and hit a school zone signal pole, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department news release.
The Las Vegas man was believed to be impaired and was not wearing a seat belt, according to the release.
Flores was transported to University Medical Center where he later died. The coroner’s office determined Flores died of blunt-force injuries from a motor vehicle crash.
Flores was one of three people killed in crashes near Las Vegas during a roughly six-hour period last weekend.
The crash marks the 77th fatal traffic-related collision in 2018 in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction, according to the release.
