Las Vegas, NV : Deadly crash at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area on Sunday, 27th January 2019
Two people died and another person was critically injured after a crash Sunday morning at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
The crash happened just after 8:20 a.m., on state Route 159, near mile marker 11, when a silver Lexus traveling east attempted to make a U-turn, trooper Travis Smaka said Sunday afternoon.
Mile marker 11 is just west of the entrance to Red Rock Canyon’s Scenic Loop, according to a mile marker map distributed by the Nevada Department of Transportation.
The Lexus turned left in front of a silver Subaru traveling west on Route 159. The Subaru slammed into the passenger side of the Lexus, causing it to overturn, Smaka said.
The woman driving the Lexus and a man who was a passenger in the car both died at the scene, he said.
