Female driver killed in a southwest valley rollover crash in Nevada





Woman killed in southwest valley crash ID’d


A 34-year-old woman killed in a southwest valley rollover crash Saturday morning was identified by the Nevada Highway Patrol as Jessica Kenney of Las Vegas.

Kenney was driving south in a 2011 Chevrolet Impala on state Route 159, one mile north of Blue Diamond Road, when she drove off the roadway, NHP trooper Loy Hixson said.

A LinkedIn account under Kenney’s name shows that she was a newspaper delivery contractor for the Review-Journal for the past four years where she worked a 1 a.m.-to-7 a.m. shift. That couldn’t be immediately confirmed.
NHP troopers and Las Vegas police responded to the single-vehicle wreck about 6:20 a.m., Hixson said.

The Impala rolled into a ravine and Kenney was thrown from the car. She was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, Hixson said.

Hixson said road markings didn’t indicate there was any loss of control before the crash. NHP is still investigating.
