Officers said a 41-year-old driver was traveling in a vehicle at a high rate of speed eastbound on Lake Mead Boulevard when he crashed into another car which was making a turn across eastbound travel lanes and into a business at that location.
The force of the collision ejected a female passenger from the vehicle, attempting to make the turn, and seriously injured a boy also in the car.
The 41-year-old woman was pronounced deceased at the scene by medical personnel, and the 13-year-old boy was transported to the Intensive Care Unit at the University Medical Center. Both drivers also suffered minor injuries in the crash, according to police.
Rigoberto Chavez-Solorzano, 41, was later identified as the driver of the vehicle which was reportedly speeding and Maribel Aleman, of Las Vegas, was identified as the woman killed in the crash by the Clark County coroner's office.
