A 28-year-old pedestrian died early Saturday after being struck by a vehicle on Naples Drive, east of Paradise Road.
Las Vegas police said the Las Vegas man, whose identity has not been released, was crossing the street outside a crosswalk with Adrienne Unis, a 41-year-old Las Vegas woman, around 5 a.m. when the eastbound vehicle struck them both.
The male pedestrian was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Unis was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where she was listed in serious condition.

The collision remains under investigation. This was the 37th traffic-related fatality Las Vegas police have investigated this year.
