Crash involving 2 suspected impaired drivers kills passenger
A passenger died Thursday after two vehicles driven by suspected impaired drivers collided.
A 2018 Hyundai Accent and a 1994 Ford Mustang crashed into each other just after 1 a.m. at East Sahara Avenue and McLeod Drive, according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department.
The passenger in the Mustang, 36-year-old Heidi Perkins, died later Thursday at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, according to the Clark County coroner’s office.
Taurean Henderson, 37, who police said was driving the Mustang, was booked on charges of driving without a license or insurance and driving under the influence resulting in death.
Henderson was sentenced for attempted possession of a controlled substance in 2018, attempted carrying a concealed firearm in 2021 and unlawful occupancy in August. He pleaded guilty in all three cases.
Kenneth Kaminski, 35, was driving the Accent. He was booked on charges of driving under the influence resulting in death and violation of parole.
Kaminski was put on parole in 2019 after he pleaded guilty to sexual assault with a minor, lewdness with a child under 14 and coercion, according to court records. On Dec. 13, Kaminski put in a petition to be removed from parole, but the petition was denied.
