Woman severely injured after being struck near E Flamingo and Boulder Highway in Las Vegas
A pedestrian was in life-threatening condition after being struck by a vehicle in the southeast Las Vegas valley early Monday morning. The collision occurred at 3:19 a.m. at the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Boulder Highway. An investigation revealed that a 2015 Nissan Rogue was traveling westbound on Flamingo Road. At the same time, a pedestrian was attempting to cross over Flamingo Road from south to north in a marked crosswalk. Police said the pedestrian failed to obey the ”walk, don’t walk” traffic control device, stumbled out of the crosswalk to the east, and directly into the Nissan’s path of travel. The pedestrian was struck by the front left portion of the Nissan and was projected forward and onto the roadway. Medical personnel transported the pedestrian to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Nissan cooperated with the investigation and did not show signs of impairment, according to police.
