Las Vegas, NV – UPDATE: Man Dies in Stewart Ave Semi-Truck Accident at Mojave Rd

Las Vegas, NV (January 12, 2022) – A man has died nearly two weeks after a Las Vegas truck accident that occurred on Friday morning, December 31, in the east valley, per reports from officers.

Officers were called to the accident, which happened at Stewart Avenue and Mojave Road, around 9:00 a.m. Initial reports indicated that the driver of a 2020 Volvo semi-truck was traveling westbound on Stewart when they turned left into the intersection, colliding with a 2004 Ford E-350 van traveling east.

The van’s driver, identified only as a 68-year-old man, was transported to University Medical Center by ambulance. On Wednesday, police were notified that the man died of his injuries over the weekend. His identity has not yet been made available, however.

The semi-truck driver stayed on the scene to cooperate with authorities and wasn’t impaired, though it’s unclear if citations or charges were filed.

The investigation remains active at this time.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim.
