LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Metro police released a list of Las Vegas intersections with the most crashes this year so far.
Metro’s Traffic Bureau Lieutenant, Anthony Cavaricci said all together, Metro listed 15 intersections where they’ve seen the most crashes. Flamingo Road and Rainbow Boulevard top the list with 26 crashes so far this year.
“We can’t afford to lose any more lives on our roadways. The list that was put out covers everything from property damage only collisions to your injury collisions,” Cavaricci shared.
Realtor, Elda Monarrez has listings near Flamingo Road and Rainbow Boulevard and takes advantage of how busy it is.
“I know it’s a very trafficked intersection. We have a lot of areas that people like to congregate around here so I figured if I put my sign up, it will be visible to those coming out from their shopping spree,” Monarrez told 8 News Now.
Eastern and Sahara avenues ranked No. 2 on Metro’s list with 24 crashes so far. Kelvin Hughes told 8 News Now that he isn’t surprised by the number.
“People are inpatient, inconsiderate, and road rage is a thing. That sums it up right there. Nobody is willing to wait to take that extra second and that’s how people get into these crashes,” Hughes said.
With all the work being done near Maryland Parkway and Sahara Avenue, Hughes said it makes it extra difficult to get around.
“All of this construction that’s going on over here, past Charleston; There are cones everywhere,” he added.
As for the other intersections that round out the top five: Charleston and Lamb boulevards with 23 crashes, Jones Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue with 22 crashes and Maryland Parkway and Sahara Avenue with 20 crashes in 2025 so far.
