A man who was trying to cross Boulder Highway in Henderson on Tuesday night was struck by a pickup truck and killed, police said.
About 11:15 p.m., the unidentified 44-year-old man was struck by a Toyota Tacoma driven by 67-year-old Wilfredo Sanchez, the Henderson Police Department said in a statement.
Police said the man was trying to cross Boulder Highway near King Street, and was apparently outside of a marked crosswalk. Sanchez and his unidentified passenger were uninjured, police said.
