An individual was killed Tuesday afternoon at a northeast Las Vegas vehicle storage yard in what police described as a workplace fatality.
Las Vegas police spokesman Misael Parra said the death occurred on the 3000 block of Betty Lane, near Nellis Boulevard and East Cheyenne Avenue, at about 12:45 p.m.
Several officers and an investigator with the Clark County coroner’s office were later observed conducting an investigation at a sprawling desert compound filled with hundreds of old vehicles at the site of the fatality. The name of the business where the death occurred was not immediately released.
Police did not provide further information and referred questions about the investigation to the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
“Officials were dispatched to that location, which was reported to be a vehicle storage yard, to initiate an inspection,” OSHA spokeswoman Teri Williams said.
