Man killed in single-vehicle crash

A 51-year-old man was killed early Wednesday morning when he lost control of his truck, Las Vegas police confirmed. The man, who was not identified, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado truck at about 12:45 a.m. eastbound on Bonanza Road, near Lillian Street, when his tires began sliding on the wet road, police said.

The truck skipped over a curb before striking a building, rolling onto its left side, and sliding into a palm tree. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

This is the fourth traffic-related fatality in Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction this year.
