A pedestrian is expected to survive after being hit by a car in the west valley on Friday night, Las Vegas police said.

Officers were called just before 8 p.m. after a report of a crash at Lake Sahara Drive and Sahara Avenue, west of Durango Drive, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jeff Clark said.

A female pedestrian was struck by a car and taken to University Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries. Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash, Metro Lt. Greg Phenis said.

Further information was not immediately available. Eastbound Sahara Avenue is closed in the area while police investigate, Clark said.
