Police: One killed after woman drove drunk, ran red light
A woman is suspected of drunken driving and speeding through a red light Tuesday morning near Allegiant Stadium, leaving one person dead.
At around 5:45 a.m. a 2018 Nissan Titan ran a red light at the intersection of Valley View Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue. The Nissan struck a 1995 Ford F-150, killing the 42-year-old passenger inside, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kellie Hart, 39, the driver of the Nissan, and her passenger were taken to University Medical Center after suffering substantial injuries. Hart was booked on suspicion of DUI-related charges, police said.
According to her arrest report, Hart was driving 66 mph in a 35 mph zone just before the crash. Police identified Trista Fierros as the person killed in the crash.
Hart remains in custody without bail and is due in court on Monday.
