The vehicle was in the northbound lanes of Las Vegas Boulevard near Bellagio Way when the vehicle drove up onto the sidewalk about 6:30 p.m. in front of the Paris Hotel & Casino and struck pedestrians, including 37 people who were taken to the hospital, Lt. Peter Boffelli said. One adult was killed, six were in critical condition, 26 injured and four were treated and released, he said.
“This is a huge tragedy that has happened on our Strip,” Boffelli said.
The crash in front of the Paris and Planet Hollywood hotels occurred on a busy stretch of the Las Vegas Strip across from the dancing water fountains of the Bellagio hotel-casino where visitors crowd sidewalks as they was walk from one casino to another. The Miss Universe pageant was being held nearby at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino at the time of the crash.
Maybe she was mad about Steve Harvey blowing the announcement of the pageant winner? Of course he then tweeted his apologies to the Philippians and the Columbians.
Ebonics copy-editor? Well, it is the Chicago Tribune.
People keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means. Personally, I'd rather see 'atrocity' used in circumstances like this.
