Nine people were killed and one person was in critical condition Saturday following a six-vehicle crash in North Las Vegas, Nevada, according to reports.
The crash was a "chaotic event" that happened around 3 p.m. local time, Alexander Cuevas, a spokesman for the North Las Vegas police, told reporters, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
A driver in a maroon Dodge Challenger, speeding through a red light, appeared to have caused the crash, he said. The driver of the Challenger and a passenger in the vehicle were among the dead, he added.
