This morning a white Mercedes Sprinter Van was traveling southbound on the I-15, south of mile marker 63 in the left travel lane, when it struck a man walking in the roadway. A white or light colored Ford F-150 also struck the man after the initial collision with the van. The man was pronounced deceased on scene. The driver of the van stayed on scene and was cooperating with investigators. Impairment, speed or distraction do not appear to be a factor. The driver of the F-150 did not stop at the scene of the crash.
The pedestrian has been identified as 87-year-old Robert Rascon from North Las Vegas. A Silver Alert was activated for Rascon yesterday after family members noticed their vehicle and Rascon were missing from their home. A gray Chrysler Aspen SUV that Rascon was reportedly driving in, was located near the crash scene with the keys in the vehicle. Investigators are seeking the public’s help to locate the white or light colored Ford F-150 that failed to stop at the scene of the crash. Anyone with any information can call NHP dispatch at 702-486-4100, *NHP from a cell phone or crime stoppers at 702-385-5555. All callers can remain anonymous.
