On Sunday March 22 a young Las Vegas woman died in an accident in the north east valley.
According to Metro police the accident happened shortly before 7.30 in the morning when 22 year old Beatrice Valencia was driving a 2008 Dodge Caliber westbound on Owens Avenue. A witness said that as she approached the intersection of Owens and Pecos road, for some unknown reason she lost control of the vehicle, left the road and smashed into a wooden utility pole at the corner.
She was taken to University Medical Trauma Center by ambulance, but despite medical intervention she succumbed to her injuries. Her family was called and they made the identification which was later confirmed by the Clark County Coroner’s office.
According to police they are still investigating but it appears that impaired driving may have been involved.
This was the 22nd traffic related death in the Metro jurisdiction so far this year.
