An older woman is recovering from serious head injuries she received after being struck by a passing car on the east side of Las Vegas Monday evening.

Police on the scene reported that the woman was hit on East Harmon Road near US 95 at about 6 p.m. She was attempting to enter her car on the eastbound side of the street when a westward bound vehicle crossed the center line, hitting the car and the woman, reported to be in her late 60s.

The woman was immediately taken to nearby Sunrise Hospital where she is receiving treatment for a serious head injury and is listed in critical condition.

The driver of the wayward vehicle remained on the scene (a welcome change from the standard hit and run procedure in most Vegas accidents), and is being investigated for driving under the influence.
