Man on Life Support Following Accident on Cheyenne 

An unidentified man was put on life support following a DUI collision in North Las Vegas on Friday night. 

The major injury crash occurred at 11:30 p.m. on January 14th near Cheyenne Avenue and Civic Center Drive. 

Reports included that a Ford Mustang convertible was traveling west on Cheyenne before attempting to make a left turn into a shopping plaza. 

An oncoming Ford Fusion which was speeding reportedly failed to yield and hit the Mustang. 

Upon impact, the two men in the Mustang, who were not wearing seatbelts, were ejected from the vehicle. 

Both the men and the female driver of the Mustang were rushed to University Medical Center with moderate injuries.

Additionally, the male driver of the Mustang, believed to be in his 50s, was put on life support. 

The crash remains under investigation. 

According to NHTSA, more than a quarter (25%) of accident-related deaths are linked to the use of alcohol. With that being said, according to the CDC, there are 30 people that are killed everyday in a car accident as a result of an alcohol-impaired driver. That is equivalent to one death every 50 minutes.  

If your injuries are caused by the negligence of a third party you may be entitled to compensation. In the event of a death, families may also be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
