LAS VEGAS -- A motorist whose pickup truck crossed the landscaped median of a Las Vegas expressway and slammed head-on into a car, killing two people, is facing felony driving under the influence charges.

Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson said Friday that 51-year-old Gustavo Garcia-Martinez of North Las Vegas remains hospitalized following the head-on crash a little after 4 p.m. Feb. 5 on Summerlin Parkway.

Garcia-Martinez is due for an initial court appearance next Thursday in Las Vegas Justice Court. His name is also listed in court records as Martinez-Garcia.

NHP released the preliminary report on the deadly accident Thursday.

According to the report, 20-year-old Savanna Gonzales was heading eastbound on Summerlin Parkway near Rampart Boulevard when Garcia-Martinez, who was driving a black pickup truck westbound, crossed over the median and headed for her car.

LAS VEGAS -- The 51-year-old man involved in the deadly fatal crash along Summerlin Parkway had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit, according to Nevada Highway Patrol.

The driver is still at University Medical Center but will be booked into jail when his condition improves. He is expected to be charged with two counts of DUI causing death, NHP said.

Last week, troopers say the man was driving a pickup truck the crossed the median along Summerlin Parkway at Rampart Boulevard and slammed head-on into another car.

LAS VEGAS -- A new report card by Rutgers University gave Nevada an F grade for funding education for children living in poverty.

The latest numbers by the National Center for Education Statistics also ranks Nevada 44th in the country when it comes to overall spending per student, which sits at $9,650.

New York comes in first in spending at about $20,000 per student.

It is going to be a long road to get that much money, but in the meantime, the Clark County School District says it is trying out a new strategy it hopes will soon benefit three main groups of students in the most need of extra funding.

Right now, every student in Clark County is allotted about the same amount of money by the state. The money pays for everything from books to computers to the teachers in the classroom, but the school district says that formula is outdated.
