Las Vegas woman arrested in fatal hit-and-run crash

The Nevada Highway Patrol arrested a 31-year-old woman Monday in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision that occurred in January.

Trooper Joseph Fackrell said Natalie Dawn Dubuisson surrendered with her lawyer about 2 p.m. and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center. Dubuisson was wanted on several recommended felony charges, including reckless driving causing a death, reckless driving with substantial bodily harm and hit and run.

On Jan. 11, Dubuisson slammed into two vehicles on Interstate 15 south of state Route 160 about 2 a.m., killing one person, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

Dubuisson, of Las Vegas, was driving a Mercedes in the southbound lanes when she rear-ended a GMC pickup truck, sending it rolling off the road. She then rear-ended a Mitsubishi Montero, sending that vehicle rolling.

The Montero’s driver was identified in the Highway Patrol’s affidavit as Inaya Sabra. Sabra was not wearing a seat belt and she was ejected from the Montero. The affidavit said Sabra was taken to University Medical Center where she died a few hours later.

Dubuisson fled the scene on foot and went missing.

The affidavit said one witness estimated Dubuisson was driving at about 110 mph. The affidavit also said that the Mercedes in the collision was processed by the Las Vegas police’s forensic laboratory.

On Jan. 26, Dubuisson met with the Nevada Highway Patrol and submitted to a DNA test.

On Feb. 24, the forensic laboratory concluded that DNA found on the Mercedes’ air bag was consistent with two individuals, but the major DNA profile was consistent with Dubuisson.
