Two dead in collision

Two people were killed in a collision Friday night when a 20-year-old driver in a pickup was speeding and running red lights near Lamb and Las Vegas boulevards, Las Vegas police said.

Police said the pickup’s driver killed his 17-year-old passenger and the female driver of the car he hit.

Police did not release the identity of the deceased. After he was released from a hospital, police said Nathan Hardy was arrested on two felony counts of reckless driving causing death. The collision occurred about 8:40 p.m.

A 45-year-old Las Vegas woman was driving a 2006 Toyota Corolla south on Las Vegas Boulevard and entered the intersection on Lamb on a green light, police said. At that time, Hardy was driving a 1992 Dodge Dakota south on Lamb. Witnesses told police the Dakota was speeding and ran several red lights before running a red at Lamb.

Police said the Dakota then struck the right side of the Corolla.

The female driver of the Corolla was pronounced dead at the scene. The 17-year-old male died shortly after arriving at University Medical Center.
