Daniel Leach
Funeral services will be Saturday for a Metro Police corrections officer killed this past weekend in a crash on U.S. 95 near Searchlight.
Services for Officer Daniel Leach, 49, will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer, 55 E. Reno, in Las Vegas. Internment will follow the funeral services at Boulder City's City Cemetery, 501 Adams Blvd.
Leach, of Boulder City, was driving a prisoner transport vehicle at 5:45 a.m. Saturday from the Clark County Detention Center to the Tucker Holding Facility in Laughlin.
The accident occurred as Leach was driving southbound on U.S. 95 about a mile north of Searchlight. Police said Leach’s vehicle collided with the second of two trailers on a semi-truck as the truck pulled out from a side street while making a left turn to go northbound on the divided highway.
Leach had worked for Metro as a corrections officer for 25 years.
