A man was taken to Sunrise Hospital with life-threatening injuries on Tuesday after he was struck by a car in east Las Vegas, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

According to Metro Lt. Andrew Kelvington, the man attempted to cross Nellis Boulevard near Desert Inn Road at about 6:41 p.m. when he was hit by a 2012 Honda CR-V.

The man was attempting to cross the street outside of a marked crosswalk, Kelvington said. The driver of the sedan remained at the scene of the crash and did not seem to be impaired, Kelvington said.

The pedestrian was later identified by police as Enzo Escarcega, 21, of Las Vegas.
