A Henderson man has died from injuries sustained in a car crash on U.S. 95 Sunday night, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
Troopers say the 47-year-old man was driving a 2008 Volkswagen hatchback north on U.S. 95, near Wagon Wheel Drive, about 9:40 p.m. Sunday when he drifted partially into the left gravel median. The car then veered back onto the highway, into the path of a 2011 Toyota Yaris in the center lane, police said.
The right side of the Volkswagen hit the left front of the Toyota, sending both cars onto the dirt shoulder, where they overturned, police said.
The driver of the Volkswagen was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car, police said.
He was transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died Monday from his injuries, police said. His name will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office after his family is notified.
A male passenger in the Volkswagen, the driver of the other car and two passengers were transported to St. Rose Sienna Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
