Woman Killed in Las Vegas Car Accident

Written by Las Vegas Accident Lawyers Friday, 29 July 2011 06:29

When people encounter a driving environment that requires some sort of action or adjustment, they need to not only follow the rules that are in place that govern that situation, but they also need to trust that others will do the same.  Tragically, early indications are that one driver may not have obeyed all of the traffic laws at an intersection yesterday, and this failure may have led to a fatal Las Vegas car accident that took the life of a woman. 

According to the authorities, this fatal Las Vegas car accident occurred last night when a Brazilian woman was driving a Ford sedan in a southbound direction on Jones Boulevard.  As she approached the intersection with Harmon Avenue, she was hit by the driver of another Ford sedan, and witnesses stated that the westbound vehicle did not stop for a red light that was controlling the intersection.  As a result, the Brazilian woman was killed in the crash.
