2 pedestrians hospitalized after crash in northwest Las Vegas Valley
Two pedestrians were hospitalized after being struck by a vehicle late Tuesday in the northwest valley.
The crash happened about 7:45 p.m. just north of the intersection at Jones and Lake Mead boulevards. A driver headed south on Jones hit the man and woman, who were in the roadway, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon.
It was unclear as of 8 p.m. if the pedestrians were in a marked crosswalk at the time of the crash. Both were taken to University Medical Center’s trauma unit in unknown conditions.
The driver, who was operating a black Mercedes, showed no signs of impairment, Gordon said.
As of 9:30 p.m., Jones was shut down between Lake Mead and West Eugene Avenue and expected to remain closed for a few hours.
