Tuesday, February 18, Metropolitan police released the name of a woman who was injured in an accident just east of the Las Vegas strip on Saturday night around 11:40 p.m.
A Toyota Sienna van had attempted to turn left on East Harmon Avenue into the parking lot at The Signature at MGM Grand when a GMC Yukon slammed into it.
32-year-old Robin Rowley was the passenger of the Yukon and had to be taken to Spring Valley Hospital due to her pregnancy and severe injuries that she sustained in the accident.
While she was at the hospital, she gave birth to a baby girl who, as the doctors described, “showed no signs of life”. Rowley was in serious condition from the accident.
The Clark County Coroner ruled the death of Ella Rowley to be an accidental intrauterine fetal demise. There was no report as to the gestational age of the child at the time of delivery.
Intrauterine fetal demise is a term for miscarriage that is often used to describe the loss of a fetus who has died prior to 20 weeks gestation. The term “stillbirth” is commonly used after 20 weeks of gestation.
The three other people involved in the accident between the van and the Yukon were treated for minor injuries as a result of the accident.
Rowley and the other passengers in the Yukon were visiting Las Vegas from the town of Alamo. Alamo is approximately 100 miles to the north of Las Vegas.
