LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — It was a deadly weekend on Southern Nevada roads involving wrong-way drivers and hit-and-run crashes.
A pedestrian was killed after being hit by a car near Lake Mead and Lamb boulevards around 9 p.m. Sunday night. Police say the car was driving west on Lake Mead when it hit the pedestrian and drove away.
The victim was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
A man was hit and killed on Sahara Avenue near Sixth Street earlier Sunday evening. Police say he was hit by a white Ford pickup and that driver took off after the crash.
The man was taken to the hospital where he later died. No arrests have been made in that case.
On Sunday morning, a man was hit and killed on the I-15 near Jean. NHP said the driver pulled onto the left shoulder and his passenger walked onto the northbound side to retrieve some of his belongings when he was hit by a Honda CRV. The man died at the scene.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Office is investigating another deadly crash. It happened on U.S. 95, north of Beatty and involved a semi-truck and car. Investigators say one of the vehicles was going the wrong way.
On Saturday night, one person died and another was injured in three-car crash near Decatur Boulevard and Twain Avenue. Police suspect impairment.
Metro Police say a man died after he lost control of his car, clipped an SUV and then swerved into oncoming traffic.
There was another violent crash Saturday morning near Cashman Center that left a pedestrian critically hurt. Metro Police say two SUV’s crashed when one driver ran a red light. One of the SUV’s hit a man standing on the sidewalk.
I was driving on Sahara, Twain, and Decatur just last week....Las Vegas blvd has a lot of construction up near Sahara but otherwise, Tropicana for one seemed light on traffic....
Wrong way drivers inevitably turn out to be drunk illegal aliens, as are hit-and-run drivers. It is not uncommon for the names and descriptions of these folks to be omitted from news reports.
Lots of human debris are depositing themselves in Vegas cuz of low room rates.
Yay ... the illegals are back in town...

I was on a business trip - not in Nevada but in Texas - when I decided to go out for dinner. The fellow at the hotel check-out told me to be careful pulling out of their parking lot. The lot exited on to a one-way street going south. I thought it was an interesting thing to say.
Another guest pulled me aside, and explained, "He can't tell you, but the reason why you take care are the illegals. They drive at night with their lights off. You can't see them. They're usually drunk. They think that driving with no lights keeps them safe from the police."
Sure enough, I made sure to carefully look before pulling out. Yep, there were a few cars with no lights speeding down the road.
Was waiting to see if these were caused by US citizens or illegals.
Friend of a friend was killed in San Diego because an illegal abandoned their vehicle in the middle of an overpass with no flashers on. Middle of the night he slammed right into it at full speed. Never even saw it.
