Kim and her passenger, a 21-year-old from State College, Pennsylvania, were taken to University Medical Center, where the man was rushed into surgery but died.

Kim was treated for “substantial” injuries before she was arrested and remained in the Clark County Detention Center on Monday, according to jail records.

The passenger’s identity is being withheld pending family notification. Monday that a man by that name was registered as a substitute teacher from March 2009 to May 6, 2019.
