West Las Vegas crash leaves man fighting for his life
A man was in critical condition after an early Friday morning crash in west Las Vegas.
The single-vehicle crash was reported about 1:40 a.m. on Sahara Avenue near Buffalo Drive, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Daniel Alvarado.
The man was traveling eastbound on Sahara in a Honda Civic when his sedan struck a center median, police said. It continued east and hit another median and a light pole before it stopped.
The man, who was the only person in the vehicle, was hospitalized at University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, Alvarado said. Police believe he might have been impaired, and he was tested for intoxication at UMC.
Sahara was closed to both eastbound and westbound traffic between Buffalo Drive and just west of Miller Lane, but has since reopened.
