Earlier this month, a 5-year-old boy was hit and killed while heading to school outside a designated drop off zone at Somerset Academy Losee Campus in North Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the driver, identified as 17-year-old Gene Ashley-Aragon, ran a red light in a 2001 Buick LeSabre and hit a marked patrol LVMPD vehicle that was driving through the Flamingo and Boulder Highway intersection.

The MSG Sphere became an instant sensation when it turned on its lights during the Fourth of July weekend. Since then, the new concert venue has drivers stopping in the middle of the road, people running across lanes of traffic, and big traffic backups all just to get the best possible view.
