Man critical after he’s struck by two vehicles, police say
A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after he was hit by two vehicles Friday night in the far northeast valley, according to Las Vegas police.
The man was outside a crosswalk when he was hit by a pickup truck and then struck by a compact SUV whose driver was “unable to avoid the downed pedestrian,” the Metropolitan Police Department wrote in a news release.
The crash was reported about 7:15 p.m. on East Craig Road, east of North Nellis Boulevard, near Nellis Air Force Base, police said.
The 48-year-old pedestrian was taken to University Medical Center in critical condition, according to police, who said that the drivers showed no signs of impairment.
