Woman dies after being struck by truck in North Las Vegas

A 29-year-old woman was struck and killed by a pickup truck Friday morning in North Las Vegas, police said.

Officers were called about 5:20 a.m. to the crash at Cheyenne Avenue and Bassler Street, east of Civic Center Drive, the North Las Vegas Police Department said. The woman was crossing Cheyenne outside of a crosswalk when the pickup truck hit her.

The driver of the black Dodge pickup remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said. Detectives did not believe impairment was a factor in the crash.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. She will be identified by the Clark County coroner’s office.
