The Clark County coroner's office has identified one of two victims killed when a car sped into a southern Nevada casino.
The office on Thursday said 81-year-old Helen Hindmand of Lincoln, Neb., died in the Wednesday crash. It declined to identify the other woman who died because her next of kin had not been notified.
Authorities say 70-year-old Walter Melvin McGie Jr. of Kelso, Wash., was behind the wheel during the accident that also injured at least eight people.
Las Vegas police arrested McGie late Wednesday on two charges of reckless driving causing death. He's free on $6,000 bail pending arraignment March 11.
Police Detective William Redfairn says McGie told him he doesn't remember the crash.
