A crash early Saturday morning in the southeast valley left a man dead.
According to Trooper Loy Hixson of Nevada Highway Patrol, they responded around 3 a.m. to the fatal accident on southbound U.S. Highway 95 at Flamingo Road.
Hixson said that a black Volkswagen hatchback was driving southbound on the 95 at a high speed when it struck the rear end of a red Honda Civic, which caused both cars to go out of control.
The Volkswagen swerved to the right and rolled over several times and the 25-year-old driver was thrown from the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene and has not as yet been identified
The 22-year-old driver of the Civic veered left and struck the center median. She only had minor injuries and was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
Hixon said that it was not yet known if alcohol played a role in the accident, but the woman who was driving the Civic was suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The 95 was shut down until just before 7 a.m., when the left two lanes were re-opened to traffic.
