Nevada Highway Patrol troopers are investigating a deadly crash in the central valley Saturday night.
A Toyota Prius hit a pedestrian about 7:45 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of Sahara Avenue at Industrial Road, according to the Highway Patrol. The pedestrian, a 59-year-old woman, died at the scene, trooper Jason Buratczuk said.
She was outside of a marked crosswalk and in the right travel lane when she was hit.
