Police were called to the intersection of Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard South after receiving a report of a man who had been struck by the vehicles, Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Travis Smaka said. Dispatch logs show the Metropolitan Police Department was called just before 4:15 p.m.

The man, who is in his 70s, was outside of a crosswalk when he was struck by a Chevrolet Equinox and a Toyota Corolla, Smaka said. He was taken to University Medical Center in critical condition. Investigators did not immediately suspect impairment to be a factor, Smaka said.
