A 45-year-old Jean woman died Thursday after a crash involving a small Regional Transportation Commission bus at Fort Apache and Desert Inn roads.
According to Metro Police:
The woman was driving northbound on Fort Apache about 3 p.m. when she entered the intersection of Desert Inn on a red light.
Her Audi sedan struck a Paratransit Service shuttle bus that was traveling eastbound on Desert Inn Rd through the Fort Apache intersection on a green light.
The collision sent the Audi into a GMC pickup truck that was waiting mid-intersection to turn left onto Fort Apache from Desert Inn.
The three drivers — and sole occupants of the involved vehicles — were transported to University Medical Center. The woman in the Audi was pronounced dead at the hospital. The bus driver, a 63-year-old North Las Vegas man, suffered substantial injuries. The pickup driver, a 29-year-old Las Vegas woman, suffered minor injuries.
The intersection was closed to traffic in all directions while authorities investigated.
The crash marks the 94th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
