Las Vegas, NV (July 31, 2026) – Fourteen people were taken to a hospital after a public transit bus collided with a vehicle in Downtown Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Police said the crash was reported just after 10 a.m. on the morning of July 31 at 13th and Fremont streets.
All 14 people transported were reported to have non-life-threatening injuries, police said. Investigators have not released what led to the crash.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
Fourteen people boarded a bus or got behind the wheel that morning expecting an ordinary trip through Downtown Las Vegas. Instead, they are now navigating hospital visits, missed work, and the uncertainty of not knowing yet what caused the collision that hurt them.
Bus Accidents in Las Vegas, Nevada
A crash involving a public transit bus can involve more than one responsible party, and sorting that out matters before anyone accepts a settlement.
- See a doctor today, even if your injuries feel minor or you were told they are non-life-threatening
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company until you have talked with an attorney
- Preserve evidence now, including the bus’s onboard camera footage, the transit agency’s maintenance and inspection logs, and contact information for other riders and witnesses
- Do not sign or accept a settlement offer before an attorney has reviewed the full value of your claim
Fault has not been determined yet, so Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule under NRS 41.141 applies. Anyone found less than 51 percent at fault can still recover compensation. Nevada law also holds common carriers, including public buses, to a duty of utmost care for the passengers they transport, a heightened standard that can strengthen a claim for anyone who was riding the bus.
A claim against a public or quasi-public transit authority may fall under the Nevada Tort Claims Act (NRS Chapter 41), which requires the claim to be presented to the responsible agency before a lawsuit can move forward, provided the investigation finds that entity responsible for the bus. The standard filing deadline for a Nevada personal injury claim is two years from the date of the crash, or by July 31, 2028, under NRS 11.190, though claims against a government entity often carry shorter notice requirements.
