Dark gray car sought in 2nd fatal Las Vegas hit-and-run crash
A male pedestrian was killed in an east Las Vegas hit-and-run Sunday night.
A man was crossing the street near Lake Mead Boulevard and Lincoln Road around 8:40 p.m. when he was hit by “an unknown vehicle driven by an unknown driver,” Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon said.
Someone saw them in the street and called 911, Gordon said. The pedestrian was taken to a hospital where they died.
As of 4:30 a.m. Monday police said in a news release that they were looking for a dark gray metallic car. Police said the car would have right front end damage.
The death was the 21st traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year. The Clark County coroner’s office will release the name of the man after relatives have been notified.
