Woman dies after hit by car on Las Vegas Strip
The Metropolitan Police Department investigated a fatal crash that left a 50-year-old woman dead early Friday morning on the Strip.
According to police, the crash, which involved a pedestrian and a vehicle, occurred at about 2:23 a.m. in the eastbound Tropicana lanes near Las Vegas Boulevard. The woman was identified Monday as Tamara May, according to the Clark County coroner’s office. May died of blunt force injuries, the coroner stated.
Police said that evidence at the scene and video footage of the crash indicated that May was crossing Tropicana Avenue southbound outside of a marked crosswalk. She was struck subsequently when she entered a 2018 Kia Niro’s path of travel.
May was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
“The driver of the Kia remained at the scene and did not exhibit any indicators of impairment,” authorities noted in a news release.
