In a tragic incident in Las Vegas, Cynthia Phelps, a 64-year-old driver, was arrested after causing a fatal crash at an east valley bus stop. Authorities reported that Phelps was driving the wrong way on Boulder Highway, speeding at 20 mph over the 45 mph limit, and struck five people waiting at the bus stop, killing two and injuring three others. The deceased were identified as a 42-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, while a woman suffered life-threatening injuries, and two children were seriously injured. Phelps, who showed signs of impairment, claimed she might have had a seizure during the incident. She is now facing charges, and her bail was set at $500,000.
