Las Vegas police release video of vehicle involved in fatal hit-and-run
A woman died three days after a hit-and-run crash in the western Las Vegas Valley, and police continue to search for the driver and vehicle involved.
Margaret Brown, 81, died Monday at University Medical Center, according to a Metropolitan Police Department release.
The crash occurred just before 10 p.m. Friday at West Desert Inn Road and South Grand Canyon Drive. Police said that a 2016-19 dark-colored Nissan Sentra was eastbound on Desert Inn.
The victim was crossing Grand Canyon in a marked crosswalk and with the walk signal when the vehicle completed a right turn, striking Brown and knocking her to the ground, the press release states.
The vehicle immediately fled the area without providing any identifying information, Metro said. Police said the vehicle would be missing its lower center grill. The vehicle was last seen eastbound on Pioneer from Grand Canyon after the crash.
Brown’s death marks the 78th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction for 2025.
