On Sunday a bit more before 7 PM local time, police say a woman intentionally drove her car onto a sidewalk full of pedestrians on Las Vegas's famed strip, killing at least one person and injuring dozens more before taking off, as the New York Times reported.
The woman, who is in her 20s, had a three-year-old child inside the 1996 Oldsmobile she was driving, according to CNN. She plowed onto the sidewalk on South Las Vegas Boulevard near the Paris hotel and casino, one of the city's busiest intersections, at an estimated speed of 30 or 40 miles per hour. Police took the woman into custody shortly after the crash near Flamingo Road and Koval Lane, the intersection where Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in 1996. The driver is now being detained, and she was set to be interviewed and tested for alcohol and other controlled substances, according to the Times.
Her name has not yet been released.
