A woman whose moped was struck by an automobile in a hit-and-run crash in early July in southeast Las Vegas has died, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

She was Stacy Peters, 48, of Las Vegas, the Clark County coroner’s office said Tuesday.

On July 6, a 2014 Velocity Moped ridden by Peters collided with an unidentified gray sedan about 8:40 a.m. at the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Channel 10 Drive, police said in a news release. The sedan failed to stop and drove off.

Peters was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with critical injuries, according to the Metro release.

The coroner’s office said she died on July 20.

Metro’s Fatal Detail was not notified at the time of the crash.
