A 24-year-old man was arrested Saturday on DUI expenses following a crash at an intersection that left two individuals lifeless and 4 others injured after a fireplace tore by means of a minibus, police stated.



Two people were killed and five suffered injuries early Saturday when a auto driven at a high rate of speed by an apparent drunken driver collided with a shuttle bus at Main Street and Charleston Boulevard, causing the bust to burst into flames.

In a statement, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said, via the Sun, that Jonathan Donner, 24, of Las Vegas, crashed his BMW into the Chevrolet bus, causing it to roll over and impact a pickup truck, then catch fire.

A number of firefighters shortly extinguished the blaze, however the bus was a complete loss. According to police, the BMW then spun around and hit another vehicle that was stopped at the intersection.

Two passengers in the tour bus were killed and four were transported to UMC with burn injuries.

“By the time we came outside, the van was on fire”, witness Juan Leon, 33, told the Las Vegas Sunday. The three surviving tourists – Stefanie Kloeppel, 30, of Germany, and Brian Zerbee, 39, and Sara Zerbee, 34, both of Cedar Rapids, Iowa – were able to escape the inferno and were taken to University Medical Center.

The crash involving a BMW and a Grand Canyon Tours minibus occurred at 7:05 a.m. “The explosion was so big”.

According to investigators, two people were unable to flee the bus and died at the scene. The restaurant is about a block south of the crash site. We couldn’t do anything but sit and watch, really. She and her employees walked outside and were horrified by what they saw. “Myself and the other girl just kind of freaked out”.

We’re going to make sure he doesn’t go home, he’s going to go to jail the minute he leaves the hospital because this is ridiculous.
