A pedestrian who died early Wednesday after a crash in the central Las Vegas Valley has been identified.
Joseph Anderson Elkins, 51, died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center of multiple blunt-force injuries, according to the Clark County coroner’s office.
Elkins was struck by a car while crossing Flamingo Road at Maryland Parkway, according to Las Vegas traffic Sgt. Robert Stauffer. Elkins had stopped to speak to a construction crew working on the corner before walking across Flamingo against a “Do Not Walk” signal. His death has been ruled an accident by the coroner.
The woman driving the involved 2014 Toyota Corolla did not show signs of impairment, police said.
