Las Vegas, NV (May 27, 2025) – Two Las Vegas drivers sustained significant injuries on Tuesday evening after a wrong-way, head-on collision on East Sunset Road in the southeast valley.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the crash occurred at approximately 5:27 p.m. on East Sunset Road, east of South Pine Street.
Police say a 2020 GMC Terrain was traveling westbound in the left of three travel lanes when it veered left and struck the center median. The GMC then crossed into oncoming traffic, traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes, before striking a 2010 Honda Accord.
The 39-year-old female driver of the GMC sustained life-threatening injuries. The 29-year-old female driver of the Honda Accord sustained serious injuries.
Both drivers were transported to Sunrise Hospital.
Evidence at the scene, witness statements, and video surveillance were used in the investigation. The reason the GMC veered into oncoming traffic remains unknown, according to police.
The investigation is ongoing.
What to Do After a Wrong-Way Car Accident in Las Vegas
A wrong-way crash can leave you disoriented, injured, and facing an insurance company that is already building its case. Take these 4 steps to protect your claim:
- Seek medical care immediately. Life-threatening and serious injuries often involve internal trauma with no visible symptoms at the scene. A documented medical evaluation creates the medical record your car accident claim depends on.
- Do not speak to the other driver’s insurance company. Adjusters may contact you within 24 to 48 hours. Do not give a recorded statement, accept blame, or discuss your injuries without an attorney present.
- Preserve all evidence. This includes scene photos, dashcam footage, witness contact information, and surveillance video from nearby businesses. Evidence disappears quickly after a car accident.
- Do not accept any settlement before consulting an attorney. First offers after serious car crashes are routinely far below the true value of the claim, especially where life-threatening injuries are involved.
Nevada’s statute of limitations for car accident claims is 2 years from the date of the crash. For a crash occurring in May 2026, the filing deadline is May 2028, especially where life-threatening injuries are involved.
