Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – Two people were killed, and several others injured, in a multi-vehicle crash that occurred north of Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon.

In addition to the two fatalities, one person was airlifted to Las Vegas in critical condition, while four others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
