A pedestrian was killed late Thursday after a crash near the Strip.

The crash happened about 11:30 p.m. at the interchange of Spring Mountain Road and Interstate 15.

In a statement, the Nevada Highway Patrol said a vehicle was traveling on Interstate 15 northbound exiting the Spring Mountain Road eastbound off-ramp when it struck a pedestrian.

The pedestrian, 74-year-old Jane Freances Moynihan, was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries from the crash and was pronounced deceased, Nevada Highway Patrol said in a news release Monday.

Moynihan’s death was the third fatal crash in the patrol’s jurisdiction this year.

The driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement. The incident is still under investigation.

Earlier Thursday, a female pedestrian was killed in a crash near Nellis Air Force Base.
