Man injured in Las Vegas crash dies, police say

A 76-year-old man injured Sunday in an east valley crash has died, police said.

The Metropolitan Police Department said the man may have had a medical episode Sunday morning when the sedan he was driving crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of Mountain Vista Street and Flamingo Road.

The man and a passenger in the other vehicle were taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries, but the man later died.

Metro’s fatal crash detail will not count the man’s death as a traffic fatality until the Clark County Coroner’s office determines his cause of death.

The coroner will release the man’s name after his family has been notified.
