Pedestrian hit, killed trying to cross Flamingo at Pecos

A pedestrian died after a crash at East Flamingo and South Pecos roads Sunday night.

A 34-year-old man tried to cross Flamingo west of Pecos before an eastbound 2007 Saturn sport utility vehicle hit him about 7:35 p.m., Las Vegas police said.

The man was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died. The Clark County coroner’s office identified him Monday as Jason Danis.

Police said the driver was not impaired and had his four children in the car during the crash. None of them were injured. The victim might have been impaired, police said, and he was out of the crosswalk when he was hit.

This was the 114th traffic death in the Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction this year, just a few hours after the 113th was recorded on South Pavilion Center Drive at West Palo Brea Drive.
