Metro Police said a 19-year-old man was arrested in connection with felony DUI after a three-vehicle crash late Friday that killed a Las Vegas woman.
Authorities responded at 10:57 p.m. to the collision at the intersection of Wilshire Street and Doe Avenue. That location is southwest of Charleston Boulevard's intersection with Decatur Boulevard.
Police said a 2006 Ford Ranger pickup truck was southbound on Wilshire crossing Doe when a 1965 Chevrolet Impala westbound on Doe failed to stop for a stop sign and collided with the Ranger in the intersection. The Impala struck the left side of the pickup truck, then the car continued west of the intersection and into a parked 1997 Toyota Camry, investigators said.
A 45-year-old woman who was a passenger in the pickup truck was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name wasn't being released early Saturday.
The driver of the pickup truck, Damon Teuscher, 48, of Las Vegas, and the driver of the Impala, Michael Dobrijevich, 19, of Las Vegas, were taken to University Medical Center's trauma unit with minor injuries. Dobrijevich was arrested in connection with felony DUI with death.
This is the 105th fatality this year in Metro Police jurisdiction.
