LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas police provided photos of a suspect vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash in the east valley Thursday night, and officers are asking for the public’s help for more information.
Police said the crash happened at S. Nellis Boulevard and Billman Avenue around 8:25 p.m. A 53-year-old Las Vegas woman died.
Investigation indicates that she was crossing Nellis north of Billman from west to east outside a marked or implied crosswalk. At this moment, an “unknown gray and/or silver sedan” traveled southbound on Nellis north of Billman in the left of two southbound lanes.
Police said a collision happened when the front of the unknown sedan struck the pedestrian. She was projected into the northbound travel lanes where she was struck again by a 65-year-old man’s Honda.
The Honda driver was identified as Robert M. of Las Vegas. Police said he sustained no injuries.
Officers say the driver of the sedan continued southbound without stopping to check on injuries or give information, fleeing the collision scene.
Medical arrived shortly after and said the woman died at the scene.
