Pedestrian killed on Route 160 identified
A 52-year-old Pahrump woman who died last week after being struck by a civilian car and a Nye County sheriff's office vehicle was identified Tuesday as Julie Ann Bloom.
The Nevada Highway Patrol still is investigating the Jan. 24 incident.
Officials said Bloom was walking along state Route 160 near Wheeler Pass Road about 8 p.m. when she was hit by a vehicle and left lying in a southbound lane.
She was hit again by a sheriff's office vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The officer involved was placed on paid leave.
