LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police have identified a 22-year-old Henderson man facing felony driving under the influence charges after two woman were killed in a high-speed two-vehicle crash overnight at a busy southeast Las Vegas intersection.
Detective Richard Tusko said Thursday that Seong Mo Lee was treated for minor injuries and booked at the Clark County jail pending an initial court appearance in the 1:30 a.m. Thursday crash at Boulder Highway and Russell Road.
Police say two women in a Nissan Versa died when it was hit while making a U-turn by a Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan driven by Lee.
Police say the impact pushed the wrecked Nissan more than 100 yards down Boulder Highway.
The women's names weren't immediately made public.
It wasn't clear from court and jail records if Lee had a lawyer.
