Pedestrian killed in hit-and-run crash, Las Vegas police say

A North Las Vegas man was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on Monday following a deadly hit-and-run crash in west Las Vegas.

Seth Lynman, 31, was booked into the jail and faces pending “charges related” to the crash, which happened just after 2 a.m. near Martin Luther King Boulevard and Vegas Drive on Monday, according to a release from the Metropolitan Police Department.

A 35-year-old man, who was not identified as of late Monday afternoon, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel, according to the report.

Lynman was driving a 2020 Kia Optima south along MLK Boulevard when it struck the victim after it failed to stop at a red light, the report said. The victim was attempting to cross the boulevard with a walk signal and was inside a marked crosswalk when he was struck.

The Kia fled the scene after the collision, though detectives later located the car and Lynman, according to the report. Police said the incident, which marked the 43rd traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year, was still being investigated as of Monday afternoon.
