Driver killed after crashing into wall in east Las Vegas Valley
A 28-year-old Las Vegas man was killed Saturday night after crashing a vehicle into a wall in the east Las Vegas Valley.
The crash occurred just before 10:30 p.m. on Sahara Avenue east of Sandhill Road, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release.
A 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck was speeding on Sahara when the driver failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway and lost control, the release said.
The truck crossed all three westbound travel lanes, and hit a cinder block property wall adjacent to the north sidewalk of Sahara.
The driver was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene.
His death marked the 65th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction for 2020. The collision remains under investigation. The victim’s identity will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office.
