Henderson man dies after pickup crashes

A 23-year-old Henderson man died Tuesday night after crashing into a light pole and a block wall, Henderson Police report.

The Clark County coroner's office identified the man as Taylor Jasper.

Jasper was driving a Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck southbound on Valle Verde Drive near Windmill Parkway at 9 p.m., police said. The driver left the roadway, driving over the sidewalk, hitting a light pole and then crashing into a block wall.

The truck continued back across Valle Verde, coming to rest after striking a chain link fence, police said.

Toxicology tests will determine if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the third traffic-related fatality in Henderson this year.
