Crash scene
A 14-year-old boy who was driving a car was seriously injured Saturday when he collided with a pickup truck, Metro Police said.
The crash happened about 6:45 p.m. at the intersection of North Gateway Road and East Tonopah Avenue, in the northeast valley.
Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicate the Honda Civic the teen was driving west on Tonopah failed to stop at a sign at the intersection and struck a Chevrolet pickup truck that was northbound on Gateway, Metro said.
The teen was taken to University Medical Center.
The driver of the pickup, a 31-year-old Las Vegas man, and a 5-year-old boy who was a passenger in the truck suffered minor injuries, police said.
Metro did not release details about whose car the 14-year-old was driving. The crash remains under investigation, police said.
