“We have not seen a mass-casualty traffic collision like this before,” said North Las Vegas Police Department public information officer Alexander Cuevas.<\/p>\n

At about 3 pm, a Dodge Challenger ran a red light at an intersection, moving at “a high rate of speed,” Cuevas told a press conference.<\/p>\n

It then “struck multiple vehicles, causing a chaotic event,” he added, saying the smash involved six vehicles and 15 people.<\/p>\n

Nine people died, ranging in age from “young juveniles to middle-aged adults,” while one person was still in a critical condition in hospital.<\/p>\n

Both people inside the Challenger were among those killed.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same press conference, North Las Vegas councilwoman Pamela Goynes Brown decried what she called a “careless, senseless act.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
