According to the state patrol, the vehicles involved were a 2006 Toyota and a 2013 Hyundai and the Toyota drifted into oncoming traffic and collided with the Hyundai, which was carrying two people.

The patrol went on to say that the passenger in the Hyundai was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.  The driver of the Toyota was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

According to police, a man died after he was hit by a truck in the west valley, between Las Verdes Street and Valley View Boulevard, at around 10 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Originally the police originally believed the man had been thrown from the vehicle but later discovered that the 57 year old contractor was working in the bus lane behind his 2001 Chevrolet which was parked.

He was then struck, and the wet saw he had in his hand flew off and hit another car. He died at the scene.

The driver of the truck, a 2004 Ford F-150, was 41 year old Rafael Mendez-Soto and he ran away from the scene only to be discovered by police hiding in a nearby dumpster. He had minor injuries and was taken into custody, where he failed sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI resulting in death and for leaving the scene.

The 2014 International Global Consumer and Electronics show in Las Vegas was the scene of the unveiling of a semi robotic car which was able to park itself with no driver on board.

The appearance of certain auto pilot actions is not new. The Mercedes CLS coupe can brake by itself if the driver forgets and some BMW models can go onto automatic pilot in traffic jams and warn drivers if they are about to go over a white line.

However, most people are in agreement that the day is fast approaching when more and more robot features will be added and during the next decade the true robotic car will appear.

This development should lead to benefits for the drivers, with less stress, less fuel and lower journey times as, if all cars are robotic and speaking to each other, then traffic should flow more freely.

However, it is not certain whether drivers will relish handing over control to a robot, nor who would pay for accidents should the robot make a mistake.

Experts say that up to 90% of all accidents occur due to driver error. If you, or a loved one, have been seriously injured or killed in an automobile accident the Boulder City accident attorneys of Jolley Urga Woodbury & Little can help you get the compensation that you deserve.

Following two more pedestrian deaths this week on Boulder Highway, near Lake Mead Parkway, pedestrians and road safety groups are calling for drivers to slow down.

The two people killed this week were Jessica Papin, aged 27 and a mother of five children, who was walking in a marked crosswalk when she was mowed down and killed.

A couple of miles further down the road, a man walked into the path of a garbage truck and lost his life.

Although pedestrians are calling for more marked crosswalks which are also lit, traffic safety advocate, Erin Breen says that they should be more aware of their surroundings and that jaywalking was never a good idea, especially on Boulder Highway which was always busy.

She also called for drivers to slow down and drive more carefully, paying more attention to other road users and being especially vigilant for pedestrians.

Pedestrians are also asking for drivers to slow down on Boulder Highway near Lake Mead Parkway and for more marked lit crosswalks in the area.
