Las Vegas, NV (January 02, 2026) – A 3-wheeled trike driver was killed Thursday night in a suspected DUI collision near Nellis Air Force Base.
Nevada State Police and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police responded to the intersection of Craig Road and Nellis Boulevard around 10:00 p.m. following reports of a crash between the trike and a sedan.
The operator of the trike-type vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the sedan remained at the location, and investigators believe impairment played a role in the fatal incident.
Authorities closed all lanes between Nellis Boulevard and Puebla Street for several hours, reopening the roadway early Friday morning.
The investigation into the specific cause of the crash is ongoing.
DUI accidents in Las Vegas frequently occur at intersections like Craig Road and Nellis Boulevard and along the Las Vegas Strip. These collisions are primarily caused by alcohol or drug impairment, speeding, and failure to yield. Impaired driving significantly reduces reaction times, often resulting in fatal high-speed or T-bone crashes.
Under Nevada Revised Statutes § 11.190, the statute of limitations for personal injury or wrongful death is two years. Because Nevada uses modified comparative negligence, a victim may recover damages if they are not more than 50% at fault.
