A pedestrian was killed Thursday morning in a crash near downtown Las Vegas.

Officers were called at 6:47 a.m. to the intersection of East Charleston Boulevard and Gass Avenue after a report of a crash involving a pedestrian and a vehicle, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Abraham Aguirre.

Detectives reviewed nearby surveillance video that police said showed the pedestrian fall into the road and he was struck by a 2013 BMW 750.

James Svoboda, 38, died at the scene, the Clark County coroner’s office said. His cause and manner of death were still pending Friday.
