The statistics regarding fatal auto accidents in and around Las Vegas for 2010 continue to pile up at an alarming rate. Since Sunday, two more accidents resulting in at least one fatality have occurred, marking a continued upward trend in deadly crashes for the calendar year of 2010 that’s not even three two months old. One crash occurred on Sunday and the other on Monday.
According to the Las Vegas Sun:
“Two people died in separate crashes Sunday and Monday, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
A woman died Sunday after the car she was riding in crashed on the Las Vegas Beltway near Flamingo Road.
Shortly after noon, the tire tread separated on a Ford Explorer driven by a 28 year-old woman. The driver of the car overcorrected, sending the vehicle into a rock embankment, where it overturned, Highway Patrol Trooper Joseph Fackrell said.
The driver and a 59-year-old woman passenger were taken to University Medical Center, where the passenger died about four hours later, Fackrell said.
On Monday, a man died when his vehicle was hit by another car on Summerlin Parkway near Buffalo Drive.
The highway patrol said a red Isuzu Rodeo driven by a 29-year-old man failed to stay in its eastbound lane at about 4:30 a.m. The Isuzu crossed the median and hit a blue Ford Taurus driven by a 60-year-old man.
Both drivers were taken to University Medical Center, where the driver of the Ford died about six hours later, Trooper Joseph Fackrell said.”
