On August 31st, 2025, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a single vehicle collision occurred on East Sahara Avenue, west of the intersection with Sloan Avenue. Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated that a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck was traveling eastbound on Sahara Avenue at a high rate of speed.
