LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say a 59-year-old Las Vegas man has died after being struck by a vehicle while walking in a crosswalk. Las Vegas Metro Police say officers responded to the scene about 1 p.m. Saturday. Police say witnesses told them that a car driven by a 39-year-old man was stopped at an intersection’s red light. Witnesses say when the man was halfway through the crosswalk, the light turned green. The pedestrian then started to jog and tripped, falling onto the ground into the path of the car. Police say the man died at a hospital. It will be up to the Clark County coroner’s office to release the pedestrian’s name. Police did not identify the driver of the car.
