A driver is dead after a crash around 1:30 a.m. Friday near Pecos Road and Owens.
According to initial reports, the driver was going too fast during a turn onto Pecos Road and drove onto a raised sidewalk and then into a pole.
A clerk at a nearby 7-Eleven attempted to help the driver.
The driver was pronounced dead at a local hospital. He was identified as 20-year-old Kristho Garcia, of North Las Vegas. He died of multiple blunt force injuries due to the crash.
