Two people were killed and two others were injured in a crash in North Las Vegas on Friday.
The crash happened around 1 p.m. in the area of Centennial Parkway and Donna Street, the North Las Vegas Police Department said in a statement.
Police said there was a collision involving “a white Toyota Avalon and a blue Toyota Corolla. The driver and passenger of the Avalon, believed to be 19 years old, appeared to have minor injuries. The driver and passenger of the Corolla, who were in their 70s, appeared to have serious injuries.
Medical personnel arrived at the scene, provided medical assistance and transported the four occupants to UMC Trauma.
The driver and passenger of the Corolla died at the hospital. “
The preliminary investigation “found that the Corolla was on Donna Street, south of Centennial Parkway, stopped at a stop sign.” The Avalon was traveling east on Centennial Parkway approaching Donna Street and had the right of way. The driver of the Corolla did not yield and attempted to cross Centennial Parkway, where the Avalon collided with the Corolla.
Police do not believe impairment was a factor.
The identity of the deceased, along with the cause and manner of death, will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
