Pedestrian killed in crash near the Strip

The crash happened about 11:30 p.m. at the interchange of Spring Mountain Road and Interstate 15.

In a statement, the Nevada Highway Patrol said a vehicle was traveling on Interstate 15 northbound exiting the Spring Mountain Road eastbound off-ramp when it struck a pedestrian.

The pedestrian, 74-year-old Jane Freances Moynihan, was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries from the crash and was pronounced deceased, Nevada Highway Patrol said in a news release Monday.

Moynihan’s death was the third fatal crash in the patrol’s jurisdiction this year.
