No Bond for Tesla Driver: Suspect Held After Hit-and-Run Near the Strip

LAS VEGAS — A high-profile DUI hit-and-run investigation has taken a decisive turn as 28-year-old Gavin Caci remains behind bars without bail. Caci is accused of veering his Tesla onto a sidewalk near the Strip on February 8, striking a British woman and her 2-year-old daughter. The toddler suffered life-threatening skull fractures and brain bleeding in the collision, which occurred while she was in a stroller.

In a show of community vigilance, a witness followed Caci to a nearby Topgolf, leading to his swift arrest. Journalistic reports indicate that Caci, a former nightclub host, admitted to having “one or two” drinks before the crash. This case highlights the devastating impact of impaired driving and the critical importance of individual accountability on our roads. From a public safety standpoint, the decision to hold the suspect without bail reflects a growing judicial intolerance for those who display a reckless disregard for human life. The 2-year-old victim remains in critical condition as the valley watches for justice in a case that has garnered international attention.
