Police are picking up the pieces after an accident on Boulder Highway took the life of a second pedestrian in as many days.

According to the Henderson Police Department, the latest in a long line of pedestrian accidents in Nevada happened at 1 a.m. on Wednesday as a wayward pedestrian was run down attempting to cross the major highway.

The victim is believed to be a male but any other details are not yet known.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the poor soul remained on the scene and answered questions for police. Charges are unlikely to be filed against the driver.

In the midst of all this, a second vehicle that had witnessed the man dangerously crossing over lanes and had turned around to check on the situation was hit by another vehicle that fled the scene. The driver was not injured, but police are now in search of the hit and run vehicle, described as a silver SUV with front end damage.

Southbound lanes of Boulder Highway are closed from North Gibson Road to West Galleria Drive streets as police investigate the accident, which now includes a fatal pedestrian accident and a hit and run.
