19 month old baby dies during car crash in Las Vegas


It is with deep sadness that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) announced on Sunday that a 19-month-old child, who had been abandoned following a car crash three weeks prior, has succumbed to her injuries. The incident occurred on February 18th, when a Nissan Titan crashed into a block wall on Spanish Drive, near Stewart Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, leaving two injured children behind. The 19-month-old girl and a 9-year-old girl were both taken to University Medical Center for treatment, with the 19-month-old`s injuries being deemed critical. Regrettably, on March 3rd, the LVMPD were notified that the 19-month-old had died from her injuries. The 9-year-old girl sustained minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

No more information is available at this time.

Help in a Crisis

Following a traumatic event, people often feel helpless, confused, and experience emotional shock. They are confronted with a situation for which they are totally unprepared.

Often there is no one available in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy to guide the victims through these difficult hours. The TIP volunteer provides this necessary temporary support until persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, neighbors, and other resources in the community.
