HENDERSON (KTNV) — Henderson police said an 80-year-old man has succumbed to his injuries on Thursday after being involved in an auto-pedestrian collision on Wednesday morning.
Police said the collision happened Wednesday around 11:41 a.m. in a parking lot in the 1600 block of West Warm Springs Road.
Through their preliminary investigation, police said a white Chevy SUV was driving through the parking lot when the driver began reversing. This is when they hit the 80-year-old pedestrian who was walking behind the vehicle.
The driver remained on the scene and cooperated with investigators. The pedestrian was taken to a hospital for further medical aid, but on Thursday, Henderson police said the man died from his injuries.
Speed and impairment are not a factor in this collision.
This is an active investigation.
Henderson police said this marks the nineteenth accident-related fatality for 2024.
