Tragedy struck the streets of Las Vegas as a recent collision between an SUV and a bicyclist proved fatal. Last Sunday, the Clark County Coroner's Office confirmed the death of the 58-year-old male bicyclist who had been involved in a hit-and-run on the intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Hinson Street earlier this month, according to an LVMPD press release. The victim, who had been transported to UMC Trauma with life-threatening injuries, succumbed to his injuries, marking the traffic-related fatality number 27 in LVMPD's jurisdiction for the year 2025.
The incident, which occurred on the evening of February 4, involves a silver or gold mid-2000 model Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon that fled the scene after striking the bicyclist near a marked crosswalk. Despite the SUV leaving northbound on Hinson Street without fulfilling the legal obligation to stop, the authorities have gathered evidence, witness statements, and surveillance footage in their ongoing investigation. The bicyclist, who was found critically injured at the scene, was on a red Next Mountain Bike at the projected time of the collision.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continues to appeal to the public for assistance in this hit-and-run case. The Collision Investigation Section is handling the probe, urging anyone with information to come forward. They have provided a contact number, (702) 828-3595, for direct reports and recommend anonymous tips to be submitted through Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or their website, www.CrimeStoppersOfNV.com, and the ‘P3’ mobile app. Tips leading to a felony arrest or indictment through Crime Stoppers might also carry a cash reward incentive for the informant.
