Driver killed in northeast Las Vegas crash identified
A speeding driver killed Friday in a northeast valley crash that left three others injured was a 31-year-old North Las Vegas resident, according to the Clark County coroner’s office.
Clarence Young was pronounced dead at University Medical Center of blunt force trauma at 2:15 p.m., about an hour after the crash at Nellis Boulevard and Carey Avenue. The coroner’s office has ruled his death accidental.
Las Vegas police have determined that Young ran a red light at the intersection, causing his speeding Hyundai Elantra to hit at least two SUVs. The impact also sent debris hurling toward an empty school bus.
One of the SUV drivers, a 39-year-old woman, was hospitalized Friday with critical injuries, but her condition was not known Monday. Two others suffered minor injuries, police said.
