Man killed in Saturday night DUI crash

Las Vegas Police are investigating a hit and run and DUI crash in the southwest valley that left one person dead Saturday night.

A 40- to 50-year-old man was driving a scooter on Russell Road, near Rainbow Boulevard, when the driver of a Toyota Sequoia who was travelling behind him crashed into the back of the scooter.

The man and his scooter were pushed over 175 feet before coming to a stop. The man was then hit by another car, possibly a Nissan Sentra, which left the scene.

The man was taken to the University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

The driver of the Toyota, 19-year-old Adrian Arriaga-Andrade, failed field sobriety tests and was arrested at the scene for one charge of driving under the influence resulting in death.
