A woman was killed and a man was arrested after a deadly crash occurred north of the Las Vegas valley. The crash, which took place at approximately 6:45 a.m. on Saturday, happened at U.S. 95 and Mile Marker 99, approximately 10 miles north of the valley. According to officials from the Nevada State Police, the collision involved two vehicles. Sadly, the woman passed away at the scene of the accident.
