On Friday (June 12) at about 6:24 a.m., Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies, AMR personnel, and Clark County Fire District 6 firefighters responded to a single-vehicle collision involving a vehicle that struck a power pole in the 8200 block of NE Highway 99.
The vehicle caught fire following the crash. Witnesses helped the 44-year-old male driver from the vehicle before first responders arrived. The vehicle, a maroon 2008 Mazda 3, was fully engulfed in flames when emergency crews arrived on scene.
The driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was transported by AMR to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The cause of the crash remains under investigation; however, impairment is not believed to be a factor.
NE Highway 99 was fully closed between NE 78th Street and NE 84th Avenue while Clark Public Utilities repaired the damaged power pole and power lines.
