LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Several people have been hospitalized following a southern valley collision involving multiple vehicles on Saturday morning.
According to Las Vegas Metro police, the collision involved four vehicles and occurred at 4:01 a.m. at the intersection of West Tropicana Avenue and South Jones Boulevard.
Evidence at the scene, witness statements, and video surveillance indicated that a stolen silver Hyundai was traveling west on West Tropicana Avenue at a high rate of speed, approaching the intersection with South Jones Boulevard.
Police determined that a red Chevrolet was traveling south on Jones Boulevard, approaching the intersection with West Tropicana Avenue on a green traffic signal. A Cadillac CTS and a Toyota Corolla were stopped facing east in the eastbound left turn lanes on West Tropicana Avenue at the intersection at a red light.
The collision occurred when the stolen Hyundai entered the intersection against a solid red traffic signal and collided with the left front of the Chevrolet, which redirected the Chevrolet to the west, where it struck the Toyota. The Hyundai also redirected to the southwest and collided with the Cadillac.
Police also determined that an unidentified male in a white sedan arrived at the scene shortly after the collision and assisted in removing the driver of the Hyundai from the scene before police arrived.
The two other occupants of the Hyundai were transported to University Medical Center for treatment for life-threatening injuries they sustained in the collision.
