Updated June 25, 2024 - 2:41 pm

A Las Vegas motorist injured in a two-vehicle collision in the southeast valley a week ago has died from his injuries.

The 82-year-old man was driving a 2021 Kia Soul that police said failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a 1997 Lexus LS 400 in the intersection at South Lamb Boulevard and East Hacienda Avenue about 8 p.m. June 18.

He was taken to Saint RoseDominican Hospital and died Monday, hospital officials told police.

A 19-year-old from Las Vegas who was driving the Lexus, was taken to Sunrise with severe injuries.

The death is the 82nd traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.

The identity of the deceased will be announced by the Clark County coroner’s office after relatives have been notified.
