Man in critical condition after accident in the eastern Las Vegas valley
On Thursday morning, a 57-year-old man was hospitalized with ”life-threatening” injuries following a car crash in the eastern valley. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the collision between a car and a pickup truck happened at 6:40 p.m. on East Sahara Avenue, east of Nellis Boulevard. Evidence and witness statements showed that a Chevrolet was traveling eastbound on Sahara Avenue when it attempted to turn left to enter a business. At the same time, an Infinity was also going eastbound on Sahara. The front of the Infinity struck the left front of the Chevrolet close to the front tire, causing the Chevrolet to overturn. Medical personnel arrived and transported both drivers to Sunrise Trauma for advanced medical care. The driver of the Chevrolet is still in ”life-threatening condition” at Sunrise Hospital. LVMPD stated in a news release that the collision is still under investigation by their Collision Investigation Section.
