One person is dead and several others injured after a cybertruck exploded outside of President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas.
The explosion happened around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday in the valet area outside of the lobby of Trump International Hotel at Las Vegas Boulevard and Sammy Davis Jr. Drive.
Las Vegas County Sheriff Kevin McMahill shared during a press conference that the sole victim was inside the vehicle during the explosion. The fire has since been put out by the Clark County fire department.
Eric Trump, a son of the president-elect and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, posted about the fire on the social media platform X.
He praised the fire department and local law enforcement “for their swift response and professionalism.”
The 64-story hotel is just off the famed Las Vegas Strip and across the street from the Fashion Show Las Vegas shopping mall.
