Two people were killed Sunday morning in a multi-vehicle crash in a Dotty’s parking lot in the east Las Vegas Valley.
The Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release that a 23-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman died around 4 a.m. when the man, driving a Toyota Corolla, struck a short wall while driving east on Sahara Avenue near Glen Avenue at a high speed.
The car continued into the parking lot of a Dotty’s at 3345 E. Sahara Avenue where it then struck the rear of a Cadillac XT6 that was leaving the Dotty’s lot, and struck a Nissan Altima that was parked and unoccupied.
The Toyota then came to a stop against a steel railing in front of the Dotty’s, police said.
Police said the 23-year-old man and 31-year-old woman in the Corolla were pronounced dead at the scene. The rear passenger of the Corolla was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in critical condition.
