The driver of a car was killed this morning after being rear-ended while stopped at an intersection in the far northwest valley, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
The driver who hit the car, David Fensch, 47, was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on a count of vehicular homicide, according to jail logs.
The crash happened about 6:30 a.m. at Durango Drive and Farm Road. The driver of a green Honda sedan was stopped on northbound Durango at the intersection when “he was rear-ended by a driver in a silver Chevy SUV that was traveling at a high rate of speed,” Trooper Chelsea Stuenkel said.
The driver of the car, whose name has not yet been released, was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Stuenkel said.
Fensch also was taken to UMC with nonlife-threatening injuries, Stuenkel said. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.
