Woman in western Las Vegas Valley crash died of stroke
A 65-year-old woman found unresponsive after a crash Saturday afternoon near the 215 Beltway died of natural causes, the coroner’s office said.
Sheryl Evans of Las Vegas died of a stroke, the Clark County coroner’s office said.
She crashed with a Chevrolet Equinox about 12:20 p.m. near the Beltway and Charleston Boulevard, according to a Nevada Highway Patrol release.
The Equinox was making a left turn on a green light from the Beltway’s southbound off-ramp to Charleston, troopers said. Meanwhile, Evans was behind the wheel of a Honda, which was heading west on Charleston and ran a red light, hitting the Equinox in the intersection.
Evans was found unresponsive in the Honda, and she died at Summerlin Hospital Medical Center.
Investigators had suspected she suffered a medical episode that may have contributed to the crash.
