On Tuesday morning a middle aged pedestrian was killed when hit by a pickup truck.
According to Las Vegas police, the 46 year old pedestrian was crossing the Linn Lane intersection on East Lake Boulevard near North Linn Lane, east of Christy Lane at around 5.30 a.m. when she was hit by a 1997 Dodge 1500 truck which was being driven by a 69 year old Las Vegas man who was heading west on Lake Mead Boulevard.
The victim was knocked onto the roadway and was later pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
The driver reported the collision to the police himself and he remained at the scene.
Lake Mead between Christy and Sloan lanes was closed in both directions for almost six while the incident was investigated by Metro. This is the 80th traffic related fatality in their jurisdiction this year.
Police did not release the name of the victim or that of the driver.
