Las Vegas police share video of deadly 12-car crash aftermath

Footage from body-worn cameras offers a firsthand glimpse of the police response to a tragic 12-car collision in northwest Las Vegas, which has resulted in the loss of three lives. Witnesses described the impact as so powerful that it rattled nearby businesses, with some mistaking it for a bomb explosion. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released edited body-worn camera videos from officers who were among the first to arrive at the scene, warning viewers of the graphic nature. Arrested in connection with the high-speed crash is 19-year-old Jose Gutierrez, who authorities say crashed into stationary traffic at an intersection, leading to the immediate deaths of two individuals. A third victim, identified as 25-year-old Vanessa Lainez Vasquez, succumbed to injuries following the collision. Gutierrez faces murder charges, as prosecutors allege the crash was deliberate, driven by his desire to end his relationship with his girlfriend, who was among the victims. Investigations revealed Gutierrez was driving at about 100 mph without braking, and authorities found THC in his possession. Originally arrested for reckless driving, Gutierrez now faces multiple serious charges, including two counts of murder. The full, unedited body camera footage is available on the LVMPD YouTube channel.
