Impairment is suspected in a two-vehicle crash that caused a Nevada Highway Patrol SUV to roll over in downtown Las Vegas early Tuesday.

The incident occurred about 3:40 a.m. when a silver Ford Taurus westbound on West Charleston Boulevard struck a Highway Patrol SUV that was northbound on Grand Central Parkway, causing it to roll, said Trooper Travis Smaka.

Both drivers were transported to University Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries.

A DUI investigation was conducted and the scene was cleared about 7:15 a.m., Smaka said.
