The Clark County Coroner's office has identified the man killed in a crash early Sunday morning as 23-year-old Brian Jared Peters.

The coroner says he died from multiple blunt force trauma.

Peters was a passenger in a car that crashed into a wall near Pebble Road and Carnegie Street at about 2:20 a.m.

At the intersection, drivers must turn right or left, but according to Henderson Police, the driver of the car, 24-year-old Arnold Cheung, continued straight and hit a block wall.

Both Cheung and Peters were trapped in the car. Rescue crews had to extricate Cheung from the car. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital's Trauma Unit for treatment. Peters died at the scene.

Police believe speed and alcohol may be factors in the crash. Blood was drawn from Cheung at the hospital. He will face DUI with death charges, if his blood alcohol content was above the legal limit, police said.

HENDERSON, Nev. - A viewer says the speed limit on Sunridge Heights Parkway between Horizon Ridge Parkway and Eastern Avenue is too low. She also says there aren't enough posted speed limit signs.

The 35-mile-per-hour speed limit on Sunridge Heights is due to the vertical and horizontal road geometry. The road contains an elevation change and several curves. Spacing of driveways along those curves has also created visibility concerns. Additionally, undeveloped land with no street lights sits along a portion of this parkway, making the slower speed limit a necessity.

Transportation officials say once improvements are complete in the area, the city will re-examine this section of road to determine if the speed limit can be raised. That speed survey will happen.

As far as signage, seven speed limit signs sit along this stretch of road.

LAS VEGAS -- Horse roping is called animal cruelty by some, and living history by others.

Clark County commissioners will decide Tuesday whether to ban rodeos with controversial horse roping events.

Horse roping usually takes place at traditional Latin American rodeos including one scheduled for late September at South Point Casino.

Animal welfare activists hope they can beat back a new attempt by two commissioners to allow the horse roping event to continue.

"The majority of the horses that we use are actually rescues," said Tobias de la Torre, Charros Federation USA CEO. "We bring them in. They're undesirable horses that maybe didn't work out as a saddle horse, have bad habits, and or are abandoned, undesirable horses. We bring them in and we train them."
