LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — An 83-year-old woman died after being struck by a vehicle on Monday morning in east Las Vegas.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:11 a.m. at the intersection of South Pecos Road and East Hacienda Avenue. According to police, the woman was in the south crosswalk when a driver turning left onto Hacienda, under a green traffic signal, collided with her.
She was transported to a hospital but succumbed to her injuries. Her identity has not yet been released. Authorities confirmed the driver remained at the scene and exhibited no signs of impairment.
