Car slams into Fremont Street bollard in downtown Las Vegas
A motorist suspected of driving while impaired slammed his car into pedestrian barriers at the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas early Monday.
Las Vegas police were at the scene of the crash that happened at 4:44 a.m. A white sedan was observed smashed into a pedestrian barrier at Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street.
Lt. David Gordon said a man was driving a 2016 Buick west on Fremont when he “failed to stop at the red traffic signal at Las Vegas Boulevard.”
“The driver and his vehicle continued westbound, crashed through one of the bollard barriers and drove about 25 feet into Fremont Street Experience before colliding into cement barriers which disabled his vehicle,” Gordon said.
No one was injured. Gordon said the driver was suspected of impairment, but it was not immediately clear if the motorist was taken into custody.
