- On Monday, crews responded to a multiple-vehicle crash in Las Vegas. Three vehicles appeared to be involved in the crash that occurred just before 8:50 a.m. on the 215 northbound western beltway at eastbound Cheyenne Avenue. The off-ramp was closed and two people had minor injuries, according to authorities. (KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas)
- Lee's Discount Liquor has removed Russian-made products from its Las Vegas stores in support of Ukraine. The retailer shared a social media post, stating that "in support of the Ukraine, we have decided not to retail Russian-made products indefinitely." However, they clarified that Lee's will still sell vodkas that are confused for being Russian but are not actually produced in Russia, such as Stoli, Smirnoff, and Karkov. (Fox 5 Las Vegas)
- Across Las Vegas, support is being shown for the people of Ukraine. The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign now illuminates yellow and blue — the colors of the Ukraine flag. In addition, throughout this week from 8:00-10:00 p.m., the Las Vegas City Hall will continue to be illuminated with blue and yellow lights to show support. (News3LV)
