The woman who was struck by a minivan and died Wednesday morning has been identified.

Bartold was with another pedestrian, but she was the only one hit, police said.

She was taken to University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. The Clark County coroner’s office ruled her death an accident and said her cause of death was multiple blunt-force trauma.
