82-Year-Old Woman Dies Weeks After East Las Vegas Multi-Car Crash

Two fatal crashes occurred recently in the Las Vegas area involving multiple vehicles and high speeds. In east Las Vegas, an 82-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in an April 3 crash involving a Toyota RAV4, a Honda Civic, and a Fiat 500, where the Fiat failed to yield and caused the collision; her death was reported in June but will not be counted in police fatality statistics due to the 30-day reporting limit. Separately, in North Las Vegas, a woman was killed in a high-speed crash early Sunday when her Toyota Sequoia hit a curb, spun out, and crashed into a brick wall; she was ejected from the vehicle as she was not wearing a seatbelt, and speed along with seatbelt non-use are believed to be contributing factors. Both cases are under ongoing investigation, with police urging anyone with information to come forward. Impairment was not suspected in the April 3 multi-vehicle crash. These incidents highlight concerns about traffic safety and the importance of seatbelt use and cautious driving in the Las Vegas area.
