2 Teens among 3 Killed in Stolen Fiery Car Accident in North Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV (June 14th, 2023)- The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has released the identity of a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle and later listed in critical condition Wednesday evening, March 11th. The incident occurred shortly before 10:00 P.M. near the intersection of South Eastern Avenue and East Rochelle Avenue. Evidence at the scene indicates that a 2018 BMW X5 was negotiating a left turn from East Rochelle Avenue traveling northbound on South Eastern Avenue with a green traffic signal.
According to the North Las Vegas Police (NLVPD), the stolen Kia Forte was traveling eastbound on Carey Ave at a high rate of speed when the tragedy unfolded. Simultaneously, the Nissan Titan entered the intersection, seemingly intending to make a turn onto Carey Ave. The impact occurred when the stolen Kia collided with the driver's side of the Nissan, causing the pickup truck to burst into flames.
Tragically 2 Individuals Inside The Kia Were Both Teenagers
The NLVPD tragically reported that two juveniles inside the Kia were pronounced dead at the scene. On Monday, the Clark County Office of the Coroner identified the deceased teenagers as Adrian Hyder, 15, and Darian Torrence, 15. The authorities have notified their families and released the bodies for funeral arrangements.
The third victim, whose identity remains unknown, succumbed to severe burns sustained during the fiery car accident. Authorities are working diligently to identify the individual. Furthermore, the authorities revealed that someone had reported the Kia involved in the collision as stolen earlier on Saturday. However, the police had not yet processed the stolen vehicle report at the time of the crash.
A Third Teenager Survived The Fiery Car Accident Inside the Kia
A juvenile male, the third occupant of the stolen Kia, survived the accident but sustained serious injuries. He was promptly transported to University Medical Center for medical treatment. The injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening, as confirmed by NLVPD.
NLVPD is urging anyone with relevant information about the crash to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. Individuals can contact NLVPD directly at 702-633-9111.
