Elderly pedestrian dies after crash in crosswalk
A pedestrian struck by a car five months ago in southwest Las Vegas has died, police announced Tuesday.
The 76-year-old man, who police identified as Xun-Cheng Huang, was struck by a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder on Nov. 23 near South Rainbow Boulevard and West Shelbourne Avenue, according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Metro said Huang was walking in a crosswalk when he was hit. He was hospitalized at University Medical Center after the crash, and police said he died on April 22.
The 40-year-old woman driving the SUV stayed at the scene and did not show signs of impairment, police said.
“The pedestrian’s death will not be counted as a fatality in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s jurisdiction due to the death occurring past the state’s thirty-day reportable limit,” Metro wrote in the statement.
The Clark County coroner’s office had not identified Huang, or ruled on his cause and manner of death as of Tuesday.
