A car crash late on Saturday night has left a man dead.
According to Las Vegas police, the accident happened around 10.30 p.m. on Gowan Road, near Walnut Road, when a 23 year old male was driving eastbound in a 1992 Honda Civic together with two passengers. As he was approaching New Horizon Avenue he lost control of the vehicle and drove onto the dirt shoulder, then back onto the road, across the westbound lanes of Gowan and hit a wooden power post with the passenger side of the car.
Police went on to say that the driver and one of the passengers, Marcos Luna aged 20 from North Las Vegas, were taken to University Medical Center with serious injuries. Luna then died at the hospital. The third passenger, a 20 year old man, refused medical assistance and left the scene.
At present it is unknown if alcohol or speed was a factor in the accident and it remains under investigation.
This is Metro’s 78th traffic-related fatality for the year.
