A woman was fatally struck by a car Thursday night in southeast Las Vegas.

The woman was taken to University Medical Center but later died. The Clark County coroner’s office identified her as 47-year-old Griselda Munoz, a resident of Apple Valley, California.

The driver of the Nissan remained at the scene and did not show signs of impairment, police said.
