Early on Wednesday morning, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in Henderson, resulting in critical injuries, News 3 LV reported. The incident took place around 4:52 a.m. near the intersection of Lake Mead Parkway and Victory Road, an area frequented by early morning commuters and just west of Boulder Highway.
Following the crash, the pedestrian was urgently transported to a local hospital where they remain in critical condition; the Eastbound Lake Mead Parkway was subsequently shut down at Water Street as Henderson Police conducted their investigation, according to both News 3 LV and 8 News Now, which causes delays for drivers who were asked to avoid the area, though no further details about the circumstances leading up to the crash have been disclosed.
The eastbound lanes of Lake Mead Parkway are closed, affecting drivers heading to Boulder Highway and nearby businesses. Morning traffic is heavier, and local authorities recommend using other routes. Henderson Police are still investigating how the pedestrian was injured, but have not shared details yet.
