A man attempted to commit suicide in North Las Vegas after causing a traffic accident.

Nevada Highway Patrol and North Las Vegas Police Departments report that a man drove through a red light in an intersection where he struck another vehicle. When police responded to the scene, the driver of the car had a gunshot wound to the head, and a firearm located close by.

An initial investigation based on the available evidence has determined that the man was driving north to a desert area where he was planning to commit suicide, and instead tried to do so after causing the accident.

The man was taken directly to University Medical Center and is listed in critical condition.

The occupants of the vehicle that was struck in the intersection are reported to have suffered minor injuries.
