Several people who are on X claim they witnessed an explosion and captured videos of the smoke rising. Stephen Felando claimed the windows shook violently on the 53rd floor of the building; Max Radford claimed there were multiple explosions.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Clark County Fire Department officials told a news conference that a person died inside the futuristic-looking pickup truck and they were working to get the body out. Seven people nearby had minor injuries and several were taken to a hospital.

According to a law enforcement official, the truck was rented via the Turo app and appeared to have a load of fireworks. The official is not authorized to speak on the matter.

The explosion was caused by very large fireworks and a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck, but it is unrelated to the car itself, said the CEO of the electric vehicle company. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.”
