Henderson teen who died after being hit by car identified

A teenage boy died Monday night after he was struck by a vehicle in Henderson.

Police were called to the 100 block of East Paradise Hills Drive at 5:18 p.m. after a report of the crash, according to a news release from the Henderson Police Department.

A driver “lost control of their vehicle, leaving the roadway onto the sidewalk,” police said. The vehicle, a black coupe, hit a boy, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Clark County coroner’s office identified the boy as 13-year-old Rex Patchett of Henderson.

Speed was believed to be a factor but impairment was not, police said.

Paradise Hills Drive was closed in both directions for several hours while police investigated.
