Pedestrian vs Vehicle Collision near North Las Vegas Boulevard Left One Dead

LAS VEGAS, NV (February 1, 2023) – Tuesday evening, an unidentified person lost their life in an auto-pedestrian accident at Nellis Boulevard.

The incident occurred at around 6:47 p.m. near North Las Vegas Boulevard on January 24th.

According to reports, the driver of a 2020 Nissan Altima was heading north on Las Vegas Boulevard near the intersection of Nellis. Meanwhile, a pedestrian started to cross within a marked crosswalk against the “don’t walk” signal.

Despite life-saving efforts, responding paramedics pronounced the pedestrian dead on the scene. Meanwhile, the unidentified Nissan driver remained and cooperated with the authorities.

At this time, authorities have not released the name of any of the involved parties, pending notification of next of kin.
