Coroner identifies 18-year-old woman killed in Henderson crash

The Clark County coroner’s office has identified the passenger killed in a single-vehicle crash in Henderson early Sunday.

A county spokesperson said Tuesday that 18-year-old Michelle Parker died from blunt-force injuries. Her death was ruled an accident.

The Henderson Police Department, which previously said the driver in the crash was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, did not immediately respond to a request for an update on the driver’s condition.

Police said speed and impairment were suspected to be factors in the crash.

The crash occurred at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday on West Horizon Ridge Parkway between Las Palmas Entrada Avenue and Shaded Canyon Drive. Police said in a news release that the vehicle collided with a light pole.
