LAS VEGAS, Clark County, Nev., Oct. 27, 2026 — A 72-year-old woman died after a two-vehicle crash Monday night, October 26, at Mountain Vista Street and Rawhide Street. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said the intersection was closed while investigators worked the scene.
The crash happened around 9:10 p.m., according to police. A 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander was turning left from northbound Mountain Vista Street onto westbound Rawhide Street when a 1999 Toyota Solara heading south on Mountain Vista Street struck the front of the Toyota into the passenger's side of the Mitsubishi.
The impact pushed the Mitsubishi southwest into a raised curb at the corner of the intersection, and the vehicle rolled onto its driver's side before coming to rest, according to police. The Toyota stopped in the southbound lanes of Mountain Vista Street.
Medics tried to save the Mitsubishi's passenger, a 72-year-old woman, at the scene, but she was pronounced dead there, police said. Her name has not been released pending notification of family. The drivers of both vehicles suffered moderate injuries and were taken to Sunrise Trauma for treatment, according to the department.
Police said they do not suspect impairment played a role in the crash. The department's Collision Investigation Section continues to investigate. Police noted the death is the 99th traffic fatality recorded in their jurisdiction this year.
We are deeply sorry for the loss suffered by the victim's family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed make a crash worse? Yes. Higher speed means more force at impact and less time for a driver to react or stop, which tends to raise the chance of serious injury.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky? Even a few seconds of looking away from the road means traveling a long distance blind, which can prevent a driver from reacting to a turning vehicle or sudden stop in time.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Las Vegas, NV
If you're involved in a crash in Las Vegas, stay at the scene and call police so an official report can be filed. Accept medical evaluation even if you feel fine; some injuries, especially to the neck, back, or head, don't show symptoms right away. Write down what you remember about the intersection, traffic signals, and other vehicles while it's fresh. If police investigators follow up later for a statement, cooperate and ask for a copy of the final report once it's available. Lean on family or friends in the days after, both for support and practical help getting to appointments while you recover.
