Pedestrian dies after crashes with impaired, hit-and-run drivers
A male pedestrian died Monday after being struck by two vehicles in east Las Vegas.
Victor Morales, 55, was driving a white 2019 Ford F-150 on North Nellis Boulevard approaching East Washington Avenue early Monday morning when he hit the pedestrian, who was walking outside a marked crosswalk, according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Morales was suspected of impaired driving, and jail records show he was booked on charges of impaired driving resulting in death and driving without a license. He is being held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center.
Moments later, the pedestrian was run over by a white Cadillac Escalade, killing the man. The driver never stopped.
Metro wrote in a statement that they are searching for a 2007 to 2014 Escalade with damage on the front and potentially underneath. A photo from the intersection showed the SUV had a sunroof.
