Woman killed in suspected DUI hit-and-run crash; driver arrested, police say

A 28-year-old Las Vegas woman was struck and killed late Thursday by car driven by a suspected DUI driver who fled the scene but was later arrested, police said.

The woman had been walking on West Flamingo Road at Cameron Street, just west of Arville Street, at about 11:14 p.m. after the scooter she had been riding on as a passenger had been involved in a crash, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

While walking in the left lane on Flamingo after the first collision, the woman was hit by an eastbound 2020 Dodge Charger which then fled westbound on Flamingo, police said in a press release.

The woman, whose identity hasn’t been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A man who had been on the scooter and suffered minor injuries was not hit by the Dodge, police said.

Police said that witnesses to the crash in which the woman was struck “followed the Dodge and provided its location” to Metro.

“The driver of the Dodge exhibited indicators of impairment and was placed under arrest for DUI and hit-and-run-related charges,” the news release said.

Corey Carr, 41, of Las Vegas, was arrested and faces charges of DUI resulting in death and duty to stop at the scene of an accident involving death or personal injury, Las Vegas Justice Court records show.

The death was the 96th traffic-related death in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.

The woman’s identity as well as the cause and manner of death will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office.

Anyone with information is urged to call Metro’s Collision Investigation Section at 702-828-3595.
