Cause of death determined for pedestrian struck by a vehicle in September
A pedestrian struck by a vehicle in September died of blunt force trauma, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Wednesday.
In a statement, the department said the pedestrian, Sidni Jacobs, 73, was walking outside of a marked crosswalk on East Flamingo Road near Maryland Parkway when she was struck by a vehicle heading west on Flamingo.
Because the collision did not meet Metro’s requirements for a callout, the department did not respond. In December, Jacobs was pronounced dead at Kindred Hospital. A Clark County coroner’s office autopsy determined the cause of death was blunt-force trauma related to the crash.
This was the 127th fatal traffic collision Metro investigated in 2016.
