1 dead, another critical in separate Las Vegas crashes
One person was killed and a second was critically injured in separate crashes Sunday night in the Las Vegas Valley.
In the first crash, at 8:25 p.m., a 27-year-old Las Vegas woman was crossing South Fort Apache Road near West Martin Avenue when she was struck by a 2008 Chrysler Sebring headed north on Fort Apache. The pedestrian, who was outside of a crosswalk at the time, was taken to University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Chrysler remained at the scene. Police said blood test results on the driver are pending to discern whether the 31-year-old Las Vegas woman was impaired.
In the second crash, at 10:42 p.m., a 45-year-old Las Vegas man was driving a 2015 Kawasaki Ninja on North Rainbow Boulevard, near Yorktown Road, when his bike collided with a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu headed north on Rainbow.
The Clark County coroner’s office said Ronald Eugene Stewart died at University Medical Center on Monday.
