LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A driver is dead after a single-vehicle crash on Friday night.

Las Vegas police said the crash happened at 8:12 p.m. on S. Jones Boulevard and Cromwell Circle.

Investigators said a 2016 Chevrolet Impala was traveling southbound on Jones. Evidence at the scene, as well as witnesses, indicated the vehicle was traveling south on S. Jones Boulevard at a high rate of speed.

The driver lost control of the vehicle as he was maneuvering around traffic and rotated clockwise.

The vehicle ran off the road and collided with a cinder block retaining wall outside of a home. The Impala then flipped onto its roof, partially ejecting the driver, who police said wasn't wearing a seat belt.

The 37-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

His death marks the 64th traffic-related fatality in LVMPD's jurisdiction in 2024.
