The 66-year-old Las Vegas woman who died Sunday evening in a crash involving an ambulance has been identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as Fe Revilla Gascon.
According to witnesses, a 2005 Pontiac Vibe was traveling east on Bridger Avenue when it collided with a 2003 Ford E350 ambulance that was traveling north on Las Vegas Boulevard at 5:13 p.m.
Both vehicles entered the intersection at the same time, Las Vegas police said. The ambulance belongs to American Medical Response.
