A man killed Monday night in a car crash in North Las Vegas has been identified by the Clark County coroner’s office.
Jose Villagrana, 21, of North Las Vegas was the front-seat passenger in a vehicle that crashed into a streetlight in the median near Civic Center Drive and Cheyenne Avenue, police said.
Police said the driver, who stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, showed no signs of impairment. Monday’s intermittent rain, the valley’s first rainfall in more than 100 days, may have been a factor in the crash, police said.
