LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas police say a 65-year-old woman was hit and killed by a school bus while crossing the street in an unmarked crosswalk.
Investigators say the school bus was stopped at a stop sign on southbound Warnock Road, near Decatur Boulevard, and Desert Inn Road preparing to make a right turn around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
The woman, whose identity will be released at a later time by the coroner's office, was crossing Warnock Road from the northwest corner to the northeast corner in an unmarked crosswalk, police say. While she was crossing in front of the bus, the driver began to make a right turn to go westbound Desert Inn Road.

The woman hit was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver was identified by police as a 58-year-old woman.
Her death marks the 122nd traffic-related death in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction for the year 2021.
