A speeding car crashed through the entrance of a casino and into a bank of slot machines Wednesday in the southern Nevada resort town of Laughlin, killing two patrons and injuring at least eight other people, authorities said. The 70-year-old driver told investigators he fainted while driving toward the Edgewater Hotel & Casino on the Colorado River waterfront, Las Vegas police Officer Jacinto Rivera said. Witnesses said the Pontiac Vibe drove through a red light, crossed Casino Drive and careened down a horseshoe-shaped driveway into the 26-story hotel. 'Slot machines were just everywhere, just wiped out, tumbled and tossed,' said Bill Kinsey, fire division chief in Bullhead City, Arizona, across the river from Laughlin. The 2,700-pound (1,200-kilogram) car came to rest about 35 feet (10 meters) inside the casino between the hotel registration desk and a cashier cage. One of the people killed was wedged beneath the car and slot machines, Kinsey said. Joe Magliarditi, the casino's chief operating officer, said he had heard the car was going at least 60 mph (100 kph). Police identified the driver as Walter McGie of Kelso, Washington. None of the victims were identified. Authorities said McGie was jailed on two counts of felony reckless driving causing death. Rivera said there was no evidence the driver applied the brakes before the crash. Investigators planned to examine the vehicle for mechanical malfunctions. The 2007 Vibe involved in the crash was not part of two Toyota recalls that recently affected millions of cars in the United States because of a risk of unintended acceleration. The car, however, is a joint venture of Toyota and General Motors Co., and the 2009 and 2010 models were recalled last month because of a risk of the driver-side floor mat trapping the gas pedal, causing unintended acceleration. General Motors spokesman Tom Wilkinson said the design of the Vibe changed significantly between the 2008 and 2009 model years. The 2007 Vibe has an excellent overall safety record, he said. ---------- Associated Press Writer Oskar Garcia in Las Vegas contributed to this report.
