Two men were killed Saturday afternoon in a crash in the east Las Vegas Valley.
A 67-year-old man and a 54-year-old man died around 4:30 p.m. after being struck by a 2012 GMC Yukon Denali while they were crossing North Lamb Boulevard at Kell Lane, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Witness statements and evidence at the scene showed that the Denali was traveling at a high speed before the crash, police said.
The two men were pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the driver of the Denali, a 16-year-old boy, and his passenger, an 11-year-old boy, were taken to University Medical Center after the crash and later released with minor injuries.
The deaths mark the 109th and 110th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
