Driver killed during police pursuit, after he loses control of car at high speed and crashes into building in Clark County.

One person is dead after a car crash near Spring Mountain Road and Decatur Boulevard early Friday morning.

The intersection of Spring Mountain and Decatur was closed for several hours after the 4 a.m. crash. Decatur opened to traffic at 9 a.m. Spring Mountain is still closed from Decatur to Lindell Road.

According to Metro Police, it appears the driver, later identified as Quinton Alton, 35, was traveling at a high rate of speed headed westbound on Spring Mountain, lost control, and slammed into the side of a building.

Metro Sgt. Richard Strader says police first noticed the vehicle near the Fashion Show Mall driving without lights. Police attempted to stop the driver but he sped away and crashed about 10 minutes later. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was the only person in the car.
