A woman struck by a hit-and-run driver Thursday morning in the central valley has died, Las Vegas police said.

The woman, 29, died the next day, a Metropolitan Police Department release said.

She was hit while crossing West Flamingo Road outside a crosswalk near South Torrey Pines Drive, Metro said. The woman was initially hospitalized at University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

The driver who hit her left the scene. The vehicle was described as a black or dark-green older model sedan.

Her death marked the 29th traffic fatality investigated by Metro in 2018. The Clark County coroner’s office will release her identity once her family is notified.
