MESQUITE, Nev. An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving
under the influence in a southern Nevada crash early Saturday that killed
five members of a California family and injured the suspect and three
others.
Jean Soriano of California was booked into the Clark County Detention
Center after he was treated and released at University Medical Center in
Las Vegas, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson said.
The crash happened at about 3 a.m. on Interstate 15 near the Utah line.
The teen's sport utility vehicle struck a van from behind, causing both
vehicles to spin out of control and roll near Mesquite, some 80 miles
northeast of Las Vegas, investigators said.
Seven family members from Southern California were in the van, and five of
them were killed, authorities said. The other two were taken to the Las
Vegas medical center in critical condition.
A 23-year-old passenger in the SUV also was treated at the hospital and
released.
Soriano is believed to have been returning from a visit with family in
Utah to his home in California at the time of the wreck, Hixson said.
Authorities didn't immediately release his hometown or the names or
hometowns of the victims.
Some beer bottles were found in the SUV, Hixson said, and troopers
performed a blood-alcohol test on Soriano at the hospital. The results
won't be known for a couple of weeks, he said.
Hixson said the crash demonstrates why the Nevada Highway Patrol and other
law enforcement agencies stress the importance of buckling up. Only two of
the seven people in the van were wearing seatbelts, he said. Four of the
five who were not buckled in were ejected.
"Unfortunately, so many in the van weren't wearing seatbelts, and some
might have survived had they been wearing them," Hixson told The
Associated Press. "We see it so many times where people can survive simply
by having a seatbelt on."
The wreck also shows why the Nevada Highway Patrol and other agencies run
frequent public service announcements discouraging drinking and driving,
he added.
"We put that message out for a reason -- so we don't have tragedies like
this," Hixson said. "Unfortunately, it takes incidents like this to have
people open their eyes. Some people need a reality check to get that
message."
The van was carrying a couple, their children and some aunts and uncles,
he said. The only survivors in it were the 40-year-old female driver and a
15-year-old boy. Killed were three men in their 40s, a teenage female and
an adult female.
