Nevada Highway Patrol have said that a woman died early Tuesday after a driver headed the wrong way on the 215 Beltway crashed into her near Windmill Parkway.
According to NHP trooper Chelsea Webster, they responded to the crash at about 12:45 a.m. A 30 year old man in a Toyota Tundra truck was traveling eastbound on the Beltway in a westbound lane and he crashed head on with a Hyundai Elantra sedan, killing the car’s driver, 28-year-old Jennie Marie Bergstrom, of Henderson.
