Two men were critically injured Saturday when a car headed west on Vegas Drive suddenly veered into the opposing lane of traffic and hit a pickup truck, Metro Police said.

The crash happened about 5:15 p.m. as the car was crossing Valley Drive, police said.

The driver of the car, a 1989 Honda Accord, was identified as Jessie Beil, 25, of Las Vegas. Zenio Mendoza, 20, of Las Vegas was behind the wheel of the 1986 Mazda pickup, police said.

    I'm outfitting my car with springs on the sides, front and rear so anyone hitting me will bounce off.

    Well cpo I guess you can't read because if you could you would notice that it was the cars fault not the truck which the driver of the car is white and the drive of the truck is hispanic. And on another note how do you know if he is here illegal?
