A Henderson woman died after a single-vehicle rollover crash Saturday.
A 2000 GMC was traveling east on the 215 Beltway approaching the Interstate 15 northbound and southbound ramps about 3:25 a.m., the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
The vehicle’s driver, a female, entered the right shoulder and overcorrected, causing the vehicle to rotate and overturn, the Highway Patrol said. She was identified as 47-year-old Joann Burnett of Henderson.
Burnett was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. She was taken to University Medical Center where she died, the Highway Patrol said.
Speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash.
This marks the Highway Patrol southern command’s fourth fatal crash resulting in four fatalities for 2017.
