SOUCE: Foxnews.com: North Las Vegas deadly crash 911 audio released: 'There's bodies everywhere’ The driver who ran a red light and eight others died in the crash

Bystanders to last weekend's Las Vegas-area crash that left nine people dead flooded 911 lines with grim and urgent reports about what they were seeing.

North Las Vegas police released audio this week of the more than a dozen calls that came in about the tragedy.

"There's bodies everywhere," one person told emergency responders. The bystander went on to describe the "horrible accident," according to FOX 5 in Las Vegas.

Oh my God. My God! Get down, it’s a kid, it’s a kid, don’t look!" another caller screamed in Spanish while on the phone with 911, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

More than 100 mph

Gary Robinson, 59, is accused of driving through an intersection going more than 100 mph, killing himself, his passenger and a family of seven in a minivan, including four children between ages 5 and 15.

ROSAL

This must have been an awful scene to roll up on as a paramedic/cop/tow truck driver…
Keep your head on a swivel for lunatics abound out there.

It's a terrible tragedy on many levels, but quote - 'DRIVER IN LAS VEGAS-AREA CRASH THAT KILLED 9 HAD HISTORY OF SPEEDING...'

The driver doing 100 mph was in a Dodge Challenger, here is an excerpt from a news report.

"The driver of a Dodge Challenger, identified as Gary Dean Robinson, 59, of North Las Vegas, was driving more than 100 mph when he ran a red light on a road where the speed limit is 35 mph, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene."

The 911 article demonstrates poor grammar and I see how one can interpret that the minivan driver was at fault.

At that rate of closure the offending vehicle may not even be seen in your normal stop sign scan. That is so sad.

Thank you for the correction - press-speak won again...
