A construction worker avoided serious injury after being struck by a vehicle in a construction zone early Thursday in east Las Vegas.

The man was working at the intersection of Lamb and Charleston boulevards when he was hit about 4:40 a.m.

“He is walking around on his own,” Swanbeck added.

The driver who struck the man was not suspected of impairment, Swanbeck said. A traffic patrol officer was observed at the scene investigating the crash.
