LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two men were killed in separate hit-and-run crashes Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The first crash occurred just after 7:45 p.m. Saturday at McLeod and the Pecos-McLeod Interconnect in south Las Vegas.
An unidentified 64-year-old man using what police described as a “personal mobility device” was struck while crossing McLeod Drive by a vehicle in a crosswalk. Investigators believe the driver fled the scene, traveling north on the Pecos-McLeod Interconnect.
The man was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Cleopatra Clemons who lives nearby recalls the horrific moment she noticed a man on the side of the road.
“My son and I found the body. We were coming from the store and the man was lying on the side of the curb and his scooter was on the sidewalk,” Clemons told 8 News Now.
Clemon’s sharing that by the time they got to him, he was struggling to breathe.
“As we were talking and trying to make him hang in there. He was gasping for air, and then other civilians came over to help. We did all we could to keep him with us, but it was too late,” Clemons added.
Later, just after 8:30 p.m., a 67-year-old man was struck while crossing Boulder Highway at Tropicana Avenue in a marked crosswalk. A compact vehicle struck the man before an unidentified vehicle, believed by investigators to be a white Volkswagen Passat, drove over the man who was lying in the roadway.
That victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.
The driver of the compact vehicle stopped and stayed at the scene, and did not show signs of impairment. The Volkswagen driver, however, continued south on Boulder Highway. Police provided a photo of that vehicle, which investigators believe would have damage to its lower front bumper and undercarriage.
Both crashes remain under investigation, and anyone with information on the deadly incidents is asked to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Collision Investigation Section at 702-828-4088. Additionally, those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or via the organization’s website.
The deadly crashes represent the 41st and 42nd traffic-related fatalities in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction in 2025.
42 traffic related fatalities in only 3 months. When do you think is a good time to raise the red flag for something serioiusly needs to be done to stop this from happening again? 100, 200, 500, 1000? Maybe the city can consider installing more traffic lights or speed bumps where the accidents are regularly happening? (emphasis mine)
