In an unrelated fatal accident, a 43-year-old woman died from her injuries in November 2020. That’s after the SUV she was in crashed into a wall at the Paris Hotel & Casino<\/a> parking garage located on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Local TV station KLAS <\/em>reported that Veronica Acosta was a passenger in the 2019 Chevrolet Trailblazer when the accident took place. Acosta resided in Riverside, Calif.<\/p>\n

\n

In total, three passengers in the SUV required treatment at Sunrise Hospital for injuries from the crash. Physicians tried to save Acosta, but she died later from \u201cblunt force injury to the chest\u201d suffered in the collision, KLAS<\/em> said, based on a report from the Clark County Coroner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police later arrested the driver of the SUV for driving under the influence, KLAS<\/em> said. He was identified as Scott Thomas, age 39, of Montclair, Calif., KTNV<\/em>, another Las Vegas TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

Motorcycle Fatal Crash<\/h2>\n

In another deadly accident, the victim of an Aug. 5 2021 Las Vegas motorcycle crash has died. The accident was at the Strat Hotel, Casino, and Skypod<\/a> on Las Vegas Boulevard.<\/p>\n
