A woman who died after a rollover crash Saturday morning near the Strip has been identified as 35-year-old Lanier D. Thompson by the Clark County Coroner's Office.
Thompson was eastbound about 10:30 a.m. on Sands Avenue, west of Paradise Road, when her vehicle left the road and struck a group of trees, causing it to overturn, Lt. Steve Summers said.
She was pulled from her car by firefighters and pronounced dead at the scene, Summers said. She was the only person in the vehicle.
Release of her cause and manner of death is pending.
Eastbound Sands Avenue was closed from Howard Hughes Parkway to Paradise Road for several hours while police investigated.
