LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A pedestrian died from injuries sustained in a crash on the Las Vegas Strip, occurring on Sept. 29.
According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, the incident happened around 7:47 a.m. at the intersection of South Las Vegas Boulevard and Four Seasons Drive. A 2017 Jeep Compass, traveling westbound on Four Seasons Drive, made a left turn onto Las Vegas Boulevard and struck a pedestrian who was crossing in a marked crosswalk.
The pedestrian was projected into the roadway and subsequently transported to Sunrise Hospital with moderate injuries. The driver of the Jeep remained at the scene and showed no signs of impairment.
LVMPD's Collision Investigation Section did not initially respond as the crash did not meet their criteria. However, following the pedestrian's death, reported by the Clark County Coroner's Office on Wednesday, the investigation is now ongoing.
This incident marks the 90th traffic-related fatality for LVMPD this year.
