Las Vegas Hit-and-Run Leaves Pedestrian Dead; Driver at Large A fatal hit-and-run incident occurred early Friday morning on the Las Vegas Strip, leaving a 29-year-old pedestrian dead. The incident took place near the Flamingo Road intersection, according to initial police reports. The driver of the vehicle, a silver SUV with significant front-end damage, fled the scene after the collision. The vehicle was later recovered a short distance away, but the driver remains at large. "It's so important for pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings," said Juan Santana, a tourist interviewed at the scene. "People are often distracted by their phones and don't pay attention to traffic." The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the incident and urging anyone with information to come forward.
