What investigators say about a 95 mph North Las Vegas crash that left two people dead and led to DUI indictment

A North Las Vegas crash that killed two people in the early hours of March 22 has led to a grand jury indictment against a 24-year-old driver. Court records allege the driver was impaired, traveling at nearly 100 mph, and misrepresented key details about alcohol use in the aftermath of the collision.

Arthur Hall, 24, was arrested on March 22 following a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Lone Mountain Road and Clayton Street in North Las Vegas. According to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office, a grand jury later indicted him in April on six charges, including two counts of driving under the influence resulting in death.

The crash occurred just after midnight and resulted in the deaths of Hall’s passenger and the driver of the other vehicle.

Crash

Police said Hall was driving a 2016 Honda HR-V when it collided with a 2005 Ford Explorer. Investigators described the impact as a T-bone collision.

Hall’s passenger, identified as 38-year-old Andrea Collins, who was also his girlfriend, died in the crash. The driver of the Ford Explorer, Rogers Andrus Jr., was transported to a hospital where he later died during surgery.

Officers reported finding Hall injured and lying outside the vehicle when they arrived at the scene.

Investigation

According to court documents, Hall initially told investigators he had been driving slightly above the speed limit and returning home from a pool party. He also stated he had consumed alcohol but suggested it was limited.

Investigators later disputed those statements based on physical evidence and witness accounts. A Clark County grand jury heard testimony indicating Hall had consumed alcohol and used marijuana prior to driving.

Bodycam footage from North Las Vegas police shows officers speaking with Hall in the hospital shortly after the crash. During questioning, he described drinking “Bacardi and Pepsi” at a social gathering and estimated he was driving only five to ten miles over the speed limit.

Evidence

Court records indicate that toxicology results showed Hall had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.12, which is above the legal limit in Nevada.

Investigators also used vehicle data analysis to reconstruct speed at the time of impact. That analysis reportedly showed Hall was traveling approximately 95 mph before the collision occurred.

Witness testimony presented to the grand jury stated that Hall had also smoked marijuana earlier in the evening at the same gathering where he consumed alcohol.

Officials say the combination of toxicology results, witness statements, and vehicle data formed the basis of the indictment.

Charges

Hall has been indicted on six charges, including two counts of DUI resulting in death. Additional charges were also filed, though court documents have not fully detailed each count in public summaries.

He remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center without bail.

Context

DUI cases involving fatal crashes often rely on a combination of toxicology results, witness statements, and electronic vehicle data. In this case, investigators used all three to reconstruct both impairment and driving behavior.

Authorities in Clark County frequently emphasize that impairment cases are not determined solely by self-reported alcohol consumption. Instead, blood alcohol levels and independent verification through forensic testing play a central role in court proceedings.

Speed analysis from vehicle systems has also become increasingly common in crash investigations. These systems can record data such as acceleration and impact speed, which may differ significantly from driver estimates.

As the case proceeds, prosecutors will be required to prove impairment and causation for each fatality separately under Nevada law.

The indictment of Arthur Hall follows an investigation that authorities say points to both impairment and excessive speed in a crash that killed two people in North Las Vegas. With toxicology results, witness testimony, and vehicle data now part of the record, the case will move forward to trial where the findings will be examined in court.
