Fatal collision
Henderson Police on Monday released details of a fatal three-vehicle crash that happened this past weekend on Eastern Avenue.
Authorities said a 45-year-old Las Vegas man died after his northbound 1982 Cobra Roadster crossed the median at about 9:15 a.m. Saturday and crashed into a southbound 2006 Audi A-6. The collision occurred north of Eastern's intersection with Coronado Center Drive.
The driver of the Roadster was thrown from the vehicle and taken to St. Rose Siena Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name wasn't being released pending notification of family members.
The driver of the Audi, identified as Jamie Bringhurst, 32, of Henderson, was treated for injuries at St. Rose and released.
After that crash, authorities say a 2000 Ford Contour rear-ended the Audi after the driver wasn't able to stop in time, then the Contour crashed into the Roadster. The driver and passenger of the Contour weren't injured.
Police said they haven't determined what caused the driver of the Roadster to cross the median. Investigators are awaiting the results of blood-alcohol and drug tests.
This was the fourth fatality in three crashes this year in Henderson.
