A 61-year-old woman has succumbed to injuries sustained in a multi-vehicle crash in the northwest valley, nearly one month following the incident, as per the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD).

Authorities revealed that the Kia, attempting a left turn on a flashing yellow arrow, collided with the Accord traveling northbound on a green light, this collision then propelled the Accord into the Pilot, which was stationary at a red light.

The deceased driver of the Kia was declared dead on the morning of October 11. However, police indicate no signs of impairment amongst any of the drivers involved. FOX5 Vegas identified Kristy Garay as the driver of the Honda Accord and Timothy Johnson as the operator of the Pilot.
