Police investigating deadly crash in east Las Vegas

Las Vegas police are investigating a deadly crash Wednesday in the east valley, police said.

Officers responded about 5:10 p.m. to the two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Vegas Valley and Cabana drives, near Nellis Boulevard, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Ken Romane said.

Witnesses told police a Chrysler PT Cruiser was turning left from westbound Vegas Valley onto Cabana when it crossed in front of a Chevrolet Silverado traveling east, police said.

After the two vehicles collided, the Silverado was redirected onto the southeast corner of the intersection, police said. The Silverado struck Peter Edward Davila, 54, who was standing on the sidewalk. He died at the scene.

A third car was hit by debris.

The occupants of both vehicles suffered minor injuries, police said.

The Clark County Coroner’s office will identify the man who died after his next of kin are notified.
