Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Clark County Coroner's Office has identfied the man dead after a crash on Charleston east of Hualapai Thursday afternoon.

He was 94-year-old George Nicastro of Las Vegas.

The crash happened just before 12:30 involving the Chevy Impala Nicastro was driving, a Chevy Silverado with four occupants and a Nissan Versa.
