Vehicle crashes in downtown Las Vegas fleeing police
Multiple people were injured Friday morning when a vehicle attempting to elude authorities crashed in the central Las Vegas Valley, according to Las Vegas police.
Just before 9 a.m., a Las Vegas deputy marshal attempted to perform a vehicle stop. The driver fled and later crashed in the area of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas police spokesman Aden OcampoGomez said.
At least two buses and two cars were involved and at least one victim had to be cut out of a car, OcampoGomez said. Multiple people were taken to University Medical Center with minor injuries, he said.
Southbound Las Vegas Boulevard remained closed at Ogden Avenue several hours after the crash. Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area.
No further information was immediately available.
