Las Vegas Nightclub Promoter Faces DUI Charges After Crash Injuring UK Family

LAS VEGAS, NV — Gavin Caci, a 28-year-old nightclub promoter from Henderson, Nevada, has been charged with driving under the influence after a crash severely injured a family visiting from the United Kingdom. A Las Vegas judge set bail at $100,000 for Caci, who is accused of hitting pedestrians on a sidewalk on February 8, 2026, leaving a mother and her 2-year-old daughter with critical injuries.

Incident Details

The incident occurred around 7:35 p.m. Near East Harmon Avenue and Audrie Street, close to the Las Vegas Strip. According to police reports, Caci was driving a gray Tesla Model Y eastbound on Harmon Avenue when he veered onto the sidewalk, colliding with a Chevrolet Trax and then striking three pedestrians – two adults and a 2-year-old child in a stroller [1]. The child was ejected from the stroller and dragged underneath the vehicle until it hit a pole. Caci then fled the scene, but was apprehended by police after a witness followed him to a nearby parking lot on Koval Lane [2].

A preliminary blood test revealed Caci’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) was 0.22%, almost three times Nevada’s legal limit of 0.08% [3].

Severe Injuries and Hospitalization

The 2-year-old girl and her mother sustained the most critical injuries, suffering brain bleeding. Doctors also diagnosed the child with a skull fracture and a broken femur [1]. The second adult family member sustained minor injuries. The driver of the Chevrolet Trax, a 35-year-old Las Vegas woman, also received treatment for minor wounds. Both the mother and child remained hospitalized as of February 20, 2026 [2].

Legal Proceedings and Bail Conditions

Caci faces multiple felony charges, including two counts of DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm, two counts of reckless driving resulting in substantial bodily harm and four counts of failure to stop at the scene of an accident [2]. Prosecutors initially requested a $1 million bail, citing the severity of the injuries and Caci’s attempt to leave the scene. But, Judge Joe Bonaventure set bail at $100,000, citing a 2020 Nevada Supreme Court ruling regarding bail amounts [3].

If Caci posts bail, he is subject to the following conditions: [3]

• Electronic surveillance via a GPS device.
• Continuous alcohol monitoring and regular testing.
• A curfew and restrictions on leaving the area.

Lawsuit Filed

On February 20, 2026, Luke, Jessica, and Isla Sadler filed a lawsuit against Tesla Lease Trust and Gavin Caci seeking damages for their injuries [3].

Next Steps

Caci’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 25, 2026, to evaluate the progress of the case.
