Street racer suffers serious injuries in crash, Metro Police say

A Las Vegas man suffered serious injuries in a street-racing crash Saturday afternoon, Metro Police said.

Based on evidence and witness statements, police said, two Mazdaspeed3s and a Nissan 240SX were racing east on East Sahara Avenue. As the drivers approached South Caravelle Street, the Mazdaspeed3s made contact. One of them then struck the side of a Toyota Tundra, which police said was not racing.

Police said the Mazdaspeed3 that hit the pickup rolled over, injuring the Mazdaspeed3 driver. He was taken to UMC Trauma.

All of the drivers remained at the scene, and the drivers of the racing vehicles could face charges once the investigation is completed, police said.
