Police: Woman ejected, killed in high-speed North Las Vegas crash
A woman died early Sunday morning after a high-speed crash in North Las Vegas, police said.
The North Las Vegas police responded at about 1:30 a.m. to a report of a silver Toyota Sequoia that crashed into a wall near Clayton Street and Dorrell Lane, according to a press release. They found an adult woman outside the vehicle with critical injuries. Medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.
The woman was identified by the Clark County coroner’s office Monday as Rebekkah Arzate, 33. The office said she died by blunt head trauma.
Police said the SUV was headed north on Clayton Street at a high rate of speed which it struck a curb, left the roadway and began to spin. Arzate, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected before the vehicle hit a brick wall.
Investigators believe speed and failure to wear a seatbelt were factors in the crash.
