Woman killed when SUV hops median, lands on car

A woman died and another was injured after an SUV drove over a median and landed on a car Sunday night in Henderson, according to police.

Police were called about 9:15 p.m. to Horizon Ridge Parkway east of Green Valley Parkway, where the driver of the westbound SUV lost control, Henderson Police spokeswoman Michelle French said.

The woman driving the car was pronounced dead at the scene, French said. The Clark County Coroner’s Office has not yet released her name.

The driver of the SUV suffered minor injuries, French said.

Police closed the road for about 5 1/2 hours during the investigation.

There were no other occupants in either vehicle, and neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to have played a role in the crash, French said.

It was not immediately clear if the SUV driver was arrested or cited.
