"Two women playing slot machines at a Laughlin casino are dead and six other people were hospitalized after a vehicle slammed into the casino Wednesday morning.Metro Police Sgt. Oscar Chavez said police responded at about 9:30 a.m. to the Edgewater Hotel & Casino, 2020 South Casino Drive, where a vehicle crashed into the casino's front entrance.
The driver, a 70-year-old man, told investigators he fainted while driving toward the Edgewater Hotel & Casino, 2020 South Casino Drive, on the Colorado River waterfront, Metro Police Officer Jacinto Rivera said. Officer Barbara Morgan said drugs and alcohol didn't appear to be factors in the crash.
Police said nine people were struck. Six people were taken to Arizona Medical Center in Bullhead City, Ariz., for treatment, Chavez said. Two of the victims were in critical condition and one suffered moderate injuries, authorities said.
The two with more serious injuries were flown to the trauma center at University Medical Center, Bullhead City hospital spokeswoman Sarah Morga said."
