Specific details regarding the severity of injuries have not been released.
The intersection was partially closed for over an hour as police conducted their investigation and crews cleared the wreckage. Both vehicles sustained visible damage, and debris on the roadway added to the evening traffic congestion in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Rush Hour Crashes in Nevada
The collision at E Lake Mead Blvd and N Pecos Rd occurred at a time when traffic volumes are at their highest. Evening rush hour in Las Vegas consistently ranks as one of the more dangerous time periods for drivers, especially at major intersections that serve as key commuter corridors.
Nevada traffic safety reports frequently highlight this intersection as a high-risk location, where quick signal changes, turning traffic, and increased congestion can all raise the potential for crashes.
