Fatal crash
A 28-year-old Las Vegas man is dead after police say a suspected drunken driver rear-ended his car early this morning in the northwest valley.
Miranda Dalton, 29, of Las Vegas, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on one count of driving under the influence after the crash at 3:18 a.m. today at Cheyenne Avenue and Soaring Gulls Drive, which is west of Buffalo Drive.
Metro Police said Dalton was driving a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee westbound on Cheyenne when the Cherokee failed to slow and struck the rear of a 2003 Buick Century.
The driver of the Century was taken to University Medical Center, where he died from his injuries, police said. His identity will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office pending notification of family members.
Dalton is being held without bail. This is the 20th fatal crash in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
