A 10-year-old boy is in critical condition after the 2004 Chevy Trailblazer he was riding in crashed through a block wall and into the side of a house in the northwest Las Vegas Valley Sunday night, Metro Police said this morning.
The crash occurred about 7:28 p.m. Sunday when the sport utility vehicle, going southbound on Michael Way as it fled from two previous hit-and-run collisions, veered westbound and struck the block wall at the corner of Seattle Slew Drive, police said.
The SUV continued through the wall and into the backyard of 2429 Bay Meadows Circle, where it struck the east wall of the house and stopped, according to evidence at the scene and witness accounts, police said.
The boy, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was taken to University Medical Center's trauma unit with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The driver of the SUV, 25-year-old Juan Esteves-Villegas of Las Vegas, was also taken to UMC with minor injuries, police said. He was arrested in connection with driving under the influence with substantial bodily harm, a felony, and child neglect with substantial bodily harm, also a felony, police said.
