Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Friends and family are mourning the death
of Levon Movsisyan, the 19-year-old killed in a crash near Twain and
Grand Canyon on Tuesday.
Dozens gathered Wednesday night at the site of the crash.
"I can't believe it, it just doesn't register yet. It feels like it's
a bad dream," said Mike Manukyan, a friend.
A new group every few minutes, all day Wednesday, visited the scene
of the crash that took Movsisyan's life too early.
"He had just graduated from a trade school, he was going to be working
on air conditioning and everything," said Manukyan.
According to police, the former Spring Valley High School student was
driving at a high rate of speed westbound on Twain, alongside two
people in another car. Something caused the other vehicle to lose
control, smashing into Movsisyan. His vehicle ended up in pieces
lodged in a retaining wall, where he died on impact.
Friends said the young men in the other car were close friends of
Movsisyan's, and they were all car enthusiasts.
"Ashod, he is my cousin, Pedram is one of my best friends. Levon,
he graduated, he got the car not even a month ago. That car was not
even a month old, he was in love with that car," said a family member.
Friends said the victims from the other car are still in serious
condition at the hospital, which is why nobody has had the heart to
tell them their friend passed away.
"Pedram and Ashod, they don't even know Levon is dead, passed away."
While they await the recovery of the victims, they pay their respects
to the friend lost, and recognize the risks of the road. "I hope the
other friends that I have will all be safe. I don't want to feel this
thing again," the family member said.
A gathering was held on Wednesday evening at the crash scene for
friends and family to mourn the death of the teenager.
Friends said the Armenian community in Las Vegas is expected to come
show their support, as the victim was Armenian as well.
