LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas say a 43-year-old man from the Netherlands has died from injuries he received when he was struck by a vehicle while crossing a busy boulevard just east of the Las Vegas Strip two weeks ago. The Clark County coroner reported Monday that Roel Raatgever died Nov. 23 at a hospital. His hometown was not disclosed. Police say Raatgever was in a crosswalk with a group of people crossing Tropicana Avenue against a signal when he was struck by a 2017 Toyota Sienna minivan a little before 1:45 a.m. Nov. 15. Police say the vehicle had a green light and the 46-year-old Las Vegas man who was driving showed no signs of impairment.
