Las Vegas Passenger Hanging Out of Van Pushes Over and Kills Bicyclist Before Falling Out of Car and Dying
People ^ | October 26, 2020 | Ashley Boucher

Around 7 a.m. on Sunday, several cars were driving recklessly along Las Vegas' Hollywood Blvd toward Sahara Blvd, witnesses told police, according to KSNV News 3. The witnesses said that a passenger in a minivan was hanging halfway out of the car, attempting to strike people on the sidewalk.

The passenger missed two pedestrians, but then struck a middle-aged woman riding in the bicycle lane further down the road, according to KSNV.

"While driving down Hollywood Boulevard, they pulled along-side a female bicyclist and the passenger leaned out of the vehicle window and pushed her to the ground," a press release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department obtained by PEOPLE stated. "At the same time, the passenger fell out of the moving vehicle and struck a light pole."

Both were declared dead on the scene.

On Monday, police identified the driver as Rodrigo Cruz, 22, who "fled the scene before officers arrived and was later apprehended."

A stupider, more dangerous version of the knockout game, perhaps?

Methinks drugs and/or drink were involved, compounded by incredible natural stupidity.

And perhaps Covid-19.

Bring back public hangings.

Criminals like this are not complicated people. It wouldn’t take more than a few to end 95% of such senseless violence.

It is wrong to call these incidents “senseless deaths.”

Unfortunately, they DO make sense. You shake up a toxic mixture of boredom, hate, no earned self-respect, and complete amorality absent Christian-Judeo values - this is completely predictable and rationally understandable. Especially if there is unlikely to be any legal repercussions.

It’s like gang shootings and revenge in Chicago. They make perfect sense once you analyze them.

Feel bad for that woman. Prayers for her family.

For the scumbag who killed her and then got killed? May he suffer in Hell.

Hopefully the driver gets a long prison sentence.

Recently sold my carbon fiber road bike And switched to a commuter type to ride the sidewalk because I no longer felt safe in the bike lane. Seen too many bike lane signs in the grass that had been run over (assumingly by accident). This deliberate act is a terrible waste of life.

Seems mass times velocity =kinetic energy from both body and bicycle being in motion which then translates into impact upon suddenly hitting the ground, curb, light pile or other fixed object, resulting in fatal injury.

One deserved it, the other was murdered.

Yep. My thought too.

This is part of a movement the media is supressing so they come out with a narrative out first.

If gypsies think the Marxist will respect their caravan borders and territoriality, I got news for them

Trump needs to run a campaign of gypsies for Trump.
