A man was hospitalized Friday morning after he was struck by a car in the western Las Vegas Valley, according to police.

The crash occurred just before 11:05 a.m. near Tropicana Avenue and Jones Boulevard. Las Vegas police spokesman Aden OcampoGomez said a passerby called 911 to report a man had been struck by a brown sedan but “was awake.”

OcampoGomez said the man was taken to University Medical Center. The extent of his injuries were not immediately clear as of about 11:30 a.m., he said.

About an hour after the crash, there was no visible police response in the area.
