September 13th ─ Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are investigating the death of an 85-year old pedestrian who was struck and killed on South Paradise Road near the Hard Rock Casino late Tuesday night. The incident occurred shortly after 11:20 p.m. near Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, when the pedestrian, who was not in a designated crosswalk, was struck by a 1993 Ford Mustang headed north on Harmon Avenue. Detectives said the pedestrian was trying to reach his car, which was parked at the Embassy Suites across Paradise Road. The 22-year-old driver, who struck the pedestrian, called 911 and told dispatchers that he had struck a man on the road. The driver remained at the scene and police say he did not exhibit signs of impairment. The pedestrian was transported by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital where he was later pronounced dead by medical staff.

The driver is not expected to face charges, according to LVMPD officers. "The pedestrian is clearly at fault in this accident. This is another reminder to use crosswalks, especially when it's this close and especially at night,” said Robert Stauffer with Metro's fatal detail, noted that a controlled crosswalk with lines and lights was located only a couple hundred feet away. Detectives have not released the name of the victim until the next of kin can be contacted. This marks the 89th traffic-related fatality in Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction since the beginning of 2017.
