1 person dead in Sunday crash in central Las Vegas

One person died and two others were seriously injured after a possible DUI crash early Sunday morning in the central valley.

Just before 6 a.m. Sunday a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro crossed a median on East Sahara Avenue near Fremont Street and crashed head-on into an SUV after the 23-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Neither the driver of the Camero, Jesus Guzman, nor a 20-year-old passenger were wearing seatbelts at the time, police said. The 20-year-old passenger died at the scene. Guzman showed signs of impairment before he was taken to the hospital.

The driver of the SUV, a 62-year-old woman, was hospitalized. Both drivers are expected to survive.

This crash marks the 57th traffic fatality Metro has investigated this year.
