LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

One person was killed in an accident involving two vehicles at the intersection of the 215 Beltway and Sunset Road Tuesday, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known. A photograph submitted by a FOX5 viewer showed one vehicle crushed against a light pole, and a second, heavily-damaged vehicle stopped in the middle of the road.
