Driver who killed a high school senior

Las Vegas (KVVU/Gray News) – The driver who was accused of hit and killed a high school senior had twice as high as the legal blood alcohol limit, according to a arrest report.

The 37 -year -old Keenan Jackson is charged with DUI what leads to death, ruthless driving and driving without a valid driver's license.

The authorities said that he had beaten 18-year-old McKenzie Scott, a senior at the Arbor View High School, who was only a few days away from the final.

Jackson immediately identified himself as a police driver who arrived at the crime scene at around 11:25 a.m. on Friday. He added that the limousine he drove “belonged to someone else” according to the report.

The officer Jackson also stated that his “blood -called, red, aqueous eyes … unsteady gait, blurry, murmured and slow speech” as well as the “strong smell of an unknown alcohol on his breath when he spoke.

Jackson initially denied drinking before the crash, but when he was asked to complete a field soberness test, he failed several tasks. He also blew during an alcohol test.

Jackson was arrested shortly afterwards.

A witness told the officials that during the crash he heard a “loud cry and the sound of a pedestrian”. Another said they flew a backpack through the air.

A third witness informed the police that Jackson accelerated the intersection through the intersection before the crash, and that nothing blocked his view of the zebra crossing than he approached.

A city spokesman said that a traffic engineer visited the intersection on Monday afternoon. The city recently installed separators along the whisper Sands Drive in 2024, but a study is carried out to evaluate other possible improvements in the region.

A gofundme was created to help Scott's family.
