There was a five vehicle pileup on Sunday morning at Lake Mead Boulevard and Lamb Boulevard leaving one man critically injured.

Metro police detectives say a Chevy Tahoe driven by Fajardo J. Guadalupe, aged 34, was heading east on Lake Mead when he ran a red light, hitting an Oldsmobile Ciera that was northbound on Lamb. The Oldsmobile was then pushed into a Hyundai Sonata and a Nissan Armada that were stopped at a red light on Lake Mead. The driver of the Oldsmobile, who was a 34 year old man from Henderson, was taken to University Trauma Center with critical injuries. No other injuries were reported.

According to the police, Guadalupe then continued to drive after the collision and went on to hit a Cadillac Escalade before his vehicle eventually stopped. He then tried to flee on foot but was caught by a LVMPD patrol officer who happened to be at the scene.

Guadalupe was given a field sobriety test, which he failed, and he was then arrested for felony DUI with bodily harm and felony hit-and-run.

Early Saturday afternoon, at around 1.30 p.m., there was a three vehicle crash on East Sahara Avenue west of South Caravelle Street.

According to investigators, following a review of the evidence and witness statements, it appears the crash occurred due to street racing.

They went on to say that the accident involved a black Mazda, being driven by Maneeraj Songmuang, aged 21, a silver Mazda driven by Kai Thorsted, aged 32, and a red Nissan, driven by 23-year-old Tyler Manning. The three cars were racing east on Sahara and as they approached Caravelle, the passenger side of the black Mazda struck the left rear of the silver Mazda which then spun and stopped. However, the impact of the collision led to the black Mazda colliding with another vehicle, a gray Toyota Tundra, which caused the black Mazda to roll onto its roof.

Songmuang, the driver of the black Mazda, was seriously injured and was taken to University Medical Center Trauma Hospital. Police went on to say that although the red Nissan was not involved in the crash, it was also racing.

The Toyota driver, a 41 year old man, was not racing and neither he, nor a 7 year old boy in the truck, suffered injuries.

Investigators said that, depending on the final investigation report, the three drivers who were racing may face prosecution.
