Man booked on DUI charges in four-vehicle, fatal crash

A 30-year-old man was arrested Sunday and booked on impaired driving in connection with a fatal weekend crash in south Las Vegas.

One person was killed and three people were injured in a four-vehicle crash around 7 p.m. Saturday at Eastern Avenue and Bluegrass Lane, Henderson police said at the time.

Jail records show Dustin Porter was booked on driving under the influence resulting in death and failure to obey a stop sign at an intersection.

In a statement Monday, Henderson police said Porter was speeding in a red Toyota sedan when he failed to stop at the stop sign. His vehicle struck a silver Lexus sedan in the intersection, sending both careering into two other vehicles.

The driver of the Lexus died at a nearby hospital. The individual had not been identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as of Monday afternoon.

Porter was scheduled to appear in court Monday morning and is being held on $100,000 bail. If he posts bail, court records indicate Porter is prohibited from driving.
