The Las Vegas car accident took place near Flamingo road and Eastern Avenue on December 13, 2017. Three pedestrians were killed in the car crash, and several others were taken to local hospitals where they were treated for their injuries. The car crash may have been marijuana related as Becker admits to using marijuana the day of the crash. Becker drove a Ford Expedition south on Eastern Avenue and struck the back of a Ford Mustang. Instead of stopping at the first car accident, he kept driving and hit the back of a GMC Jimmy on Eastern Avenue near Flamingo Road. He swerved southeast and struck three pedestrians, then turned south where he hit a Honda CR-V on Flamingo Road.  Debris struck three other vehicles.  Becker then left that car accident and struck a BMW and a Chevrolet Silverado that were driving on Eastern Avenue, then finally struck a Honda
