A 24-year-old woman was killed after her car was hit by a concrete mixer truck in the northwest Las Vegas valley late Wednesday morning.

The woman was turning left onto Cliff Shadows Parkway from Stange Aveneue when the Kenworth concrete mixer truck collided with her 2000 Toyota, striking the driver’s side of the vehicle, according to Las Vegas police.

The woman was transported to University Medical Center where she later died.

This was the 61st traffic related fatality in the Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction in 2013.
