The Clark County coroner's office said 35-year-old Carl Backstrom, who suffered a broken neck, died at 2:53 a.m. Sunday after being taken from the scene to University Medical Center, the coroner's office said.

The driver, Kenneth Leigh Hovey Jr., 34, suffered multiple blunt force trauma injuries and was pronounced dead at 4:05 a.m. Sunday at the scene, according to the coroner's office.

Another passenger, who has not yet been identified, is in critical condition, state troopers said.
