LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A woman is being treated for critical injuries after a crash on Friday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says.
Police were called to the area of Lake Mead Boulevard and Marion Drive, in the east valley, at 10:39 a.m.
A preliminary report from investigators says a Chevrolet pickup truck and a Freightliner semi-truck with a flatbed trailer were involved in the crash.
Police say the crash happened when the Freightliner was traveling eastbound on Lake Mead, approaching North Marion Drive. The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado was traveling northbound on Marion, approaching a stop sign at the intersection with Lake Mead.
The driver of the Chevrolet ran the stop sign and veered into the path of the Freightliner, investigators reported. The front of the Freightliner hit the driver's side of the pickup truck, injuring the driver.
She was transported to University Medical Center's trauma center and admitted to the intensive care unit. Police said she would require "extensive medical care" and was listed in critical condition.
