A car believed to be stolen slammed into multiple vehicles near the intersection of Blue Diamond Road and Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas early Saturday morning, and two people jumped out and ran off before officers could catch them. Police swarmed the surrounding neighborhood, throwing up a perimeter as they hunted for the pair.
The crash happened around 6:30 a.m. near Blue Diamond Road and Buffalo Drive, according to FOX5 Vegas. Police say the vehicle involved was believed to be stolen when it struck multiple other cars in the area.
Suspects Flee on Foot
Officers say two people got out of the car and ran off immediately after the collision, leaving the scene for responding units to sort through. That prompted a search of the nearby neighborhood, with officers establishing a perimeter as they looked for the pair, per the same report.
As of Saturday, the search for the two suspects was still active and no further details had been released about their identities or whereabouts. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have not yet said whether anyone was located within the perimeter.
Vehicle theft remains a recurring local crime category, although Metro’s year-end figures show it declined in 2025: the department recorded 8,873 motor-vehicle thefts, down 14.3% from 10,357 in 2024. The department’s statistics cover its broader metropolitan jurisdiction, so they do not show whether thefts or crashes have risen around Blue Diamond Road and Buffalo Drive specifically.
What Happens Next
Nevada law generally requires drivers involved in a crash that damages a vehicle attended by a person to stop and provide identifying and vehicle information; failing to stop is a misdemeanor. A separate statute requires a driver to remain at the scene when a crash causes injury or death, with more serious penalties for leaving. The state’s crash statutes set out those duties, though which provisions apply here depends on facts investigators have not released.
Las Vegas police have not released additional information about the condition of the vehicles struck in the crash or the circumstances that led the suspected stolen car into the area near Blue Diamond Road and Buffalo Drive. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available from investigators.
