LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two pedestrians are dead following separate hit-and-run collisions in Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Officials are asking the public for help to identify the vehicles and suspects.
First fatal collision
Saturday around 7:47 p.m., Metro said a 64-year-old pedestrian using a personal mobility device was struck while crossing McLeod Drive at Pecos-McLeod Interconnect.
Metro said an unknown vehicle was driving eastbound on McLeod and failed to yield right of way as they approached the intersection. According to Metro, the pedestrian was inside a marked crosswalk when the vehicle struck him, pushing him across the intersection to the northeast corner.
The vehicle fled the scene, likely going northbound on Pecos-McLeod Interconnect, Metro said.
An ambulance took the pedestrian to Sunrise Hospital where he later died.
Second fatal collision
Less than one hour later around 8:35 p.m., Metro said a second fatal hit-and-run occurred on Boulder Highway at East Tropicana Avenue involving multiple vehicles.
Metro said video surveillance shows a 67-year-old pedestrian crossing Boulder Highway inside a crosswalk but failing to obey the pedestrian traffic signal.
A 2007 Toyota Corolla driving southbound on Boulder Highway then struck the pedestrian as he entered the car's path, Metro said, pushing him into the roadway. Then, Metro said a second, unidentified vehicle behind the Toyota ran over the pedestrian and continued driving southbound on Boulder Highway.
Metro said they believe the unidentified vehicle could be a white 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat.
Metro said the driver of the Toyota stayed on the scene and did not show any signs of impairment.
Despite live-saving measures, Metro said the pedestrian died at the scene.
Both collisions remain under investigation by Metro's Collision Investigation Section.
They mark the 41st and 42nd traffic-related fatalities in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction for 2025.
