A passenger has died from injuries suffered in a two-vehicle crash in southwest Las Vegas on Wednesday, according to police. The crash happened around 5:13 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, on Warm Springs Road near Montessouri Street, west of Rainbow Boulevard, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The Toyota crossed into the westbound lanes and then veered back into the eastbound side, resulting in a collision.
