Coroner identifies woman killed in rollover crash

A woman killed Saturday morning when the car she was driving on State Route 159 went off the road and overturned has been identified as Jessica Dianne Kenney, 34, of Las Vegas, according to the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

Kenney died of blunt-force injuries in the accident about a mile north of Blue Diamond Road, according to the Coroner’s Office and Nevada Highway Patrol.

Troopers were called about 6:20 a.m. to the scene, where a gray 2011 Chevrolet Impala headed south ran off the right side of the road and hit a sign, according to the Highway Patrol.

The car went down an embankment and over a culvert before rolling over and landing on its wheels, according to the Highway Patrol.

Kenney, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene, Trooper Loy Hixson said.

The crash remains under investigation.
