Metro police are investigating a fatal auto-pedestrian collision in the west Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday afternoon.

The collision occurred about 3:50 p.m. at West Desert Inn and South Ford Apache roads when an elderly man tried to cross Desert Inn outside of a crosswalk, according to the Lt. Charles Jenkins of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The pedestrian was taken to University Medical Center where he later died. The driver of the vehicle showed no signs of impairment, police said.

The name of the deceased will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office.

It was the third traffic fatality in the valley on Wednesday. Another pedestrian was killed when hit by a truck in North Las Vegas and a motorcyclist was killed in the central valley about 6 a.m.
