Man detained after single-vehicle crash in central Las Vegas

Updated October 25, 2018 - 11:24 am

A man was led away in handcuffs Thursday morning after police responded to a single-vehicle crash in the central valley.

About 5 a.m. police and medical personnel blocked at least one westbound lane of Desert Inn Road at Polaris Avenue, near Valley View Boulevard, where a damaged white SUV sat near the center median.

A man at the scene took a field sobriety test and blew into a Breathalyzer before an officer handcuffed him.

A tow truck hauled the wreck away just before 6 a.m.
