A driver crashed into an exterior construction gate at the Athletics' future Las Vegas ballpark early Sunday, Nov. 8, and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The single-vehicle crash happened at 6:07 a.m. at Reno Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, FOX5 Las Vegas reported. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said impairment is suspected and that the car hit an exterior construction gate, not a gate to the stadium structure.
Video posted online showed a dust-filled scene after the crash. In another video, the driver apparently said, "I don't know how fast I was going, it was probably like 80," the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Police have not identified the driver.
