Driverless robotaxi and SUV collide on the Las Vegas Strip
The SUV's driver went to the hospital with a minor injury, and several southbound lanes of Las Vegas Boulevard were closed while both vehicles were towed.
LAS VEGAS — An autonomous Zoox vehicle and a silver Nissan Murano collided on southbound Las Vegas Boulevard at Four Seasons Drive, near the south end of the Strip, on the morning of Friday, Sept. 25. Las Vegas police first responded around 8:19 a.m., and Nevada Highway Patrol troopers then took over the investigation.
The driver of the Nissan was taken to a hospital with a minor upper-body injury, police said. Police said no one was inside the Zoox, and the company also said there were no passengers on board at the time of the crash.
Tow trucks removed both vehicles. Southbound lanes stayed blocked into late morning for the towing and the investigation, and the right lanes later reopened. Zoox said it was aware of the crash and would look into what led up to it and what followed.
