A pedestrian died after being hit by a truck in Laughlin Friday, according to Las Vegas police.

A 70-year-old man was crossing Bruce Woodbury Drive at the intersection with Cougar Drive just after 6:20 p.m. Friday night when a 2019 Ram 1500 truck hit him while driving down Bruce Woodbury Drive, according to a press release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Police said this was the 149th traffic-related death in Metro’s jurisdiction this year. The crash is still under investigation.
