A 30-year-old man died Wednesday morning after a three-vehicle collision on East Flamingo Road, west of South Mountain Vista Street, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said. It happened at about 6:32 a.m. on November 4. The man drove a Hyundai Tucson. Medics found he could not be revived, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said evidence at the scene and surveillance video showed a Ford E-450 passenger bus stopped on eastbound Flamingo Road in the left of two travel lanes. A Toyota Camry was stopped to the bus's right, in the right-turn-only lane. The Hyundai was coming east toward that turn lane at a high rate of speed, according to police.
Police said the Hyundai did not slow down and its front struck the back of the Toyota. The impact pushed the Toyota forward into the right side of the Ford. The Toyota came to rest on the east side of the intersection, and the Hyundai came to rest south of the intersection.
The Toyota's driver, a 24-year-old man, was taken to Sunrise Hospital with serious injuries. The Ford's driver, a 28-year-old woman, was also taken to Sunrise Hospital, with minor injuries. Police said neither showed signs of impairment.
The Collision Investigation Section of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is still investigating. The department counts this death as the 102nd traffic-related fatality in its jurisdiction in 2026.
The crash is the latest fatal collision reported near this part of the valley. On October 26, a passenger died in a crash at Mountain Vista Street and Rawhide Street, which police counted as the 99th traffic death of the year. Separately, on October 24, police were told that a driver hurt in an October 11 wrong-way crash on Blue Diamond Road had died, which brought the count to 101.
