Woman killed in single-car crash in west Las Vegas

Las Vegas police are investigating a fatal crash early Tuesday that closed a busy thoroughfare in the western Las Vegas Valley.

Police said a Toyota Camry was heading westbound on Flamingo Road when it entered the intersection of Tenaya Way and struck a center median. The vehicle then continued westbound before hitting a light pole, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release.

The driver of the vehicle was later identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as Chanel Hufana, of Las Vegas. The 33-year-old was taken to University Medical Center, where she died.

Police are still working to determine what caused the crash.
