Las Vegas, NV (September 24, 2025) – A man was hospitalized Tuesday evening after being struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross Nellis Blvd near Cedar Ave in the east Las Vegas valley. The incident caused a temporary closure of Nellis Blvd between Bonanza Rd and Stewart Ave as police conducted their investigation.
The crash occurred around 7:15 p.m. in a busy section of Nellis Blvd, prompting a response from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers and emergency medical personnel. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male lying in the roadway with visible injuries. According to initial reports, the man was crossing outside of a marked crosswalk when he was hit by a vehicle traveling southbound.
Medics transported the pedestrian to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police confirmed that the driver involved in the incident remained at the scene and cooperated fully with investigators.
Traffic was diverted from the area for several hours as officers worked to document the scene and interview witnesses. No citations or charges have been announced at this time, though the investigation remains active.
We extend our best wishes to the injured individual and hope for a smooth and complete recovery.
Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas
Pedestrian-involved crashes remain a serious concern across Las Vegas, particularly in areas like Nellis Blvd where traffic volume, limited lighting, and a lack of pedestrian infrastructure contribute to increased risk. While Las Vegas has made significant investments in pedestrian safety, including expanded crosswalks and signalized intersections, crashes involving people on foot still occur at an alarming rate.
Tuesday night’s collision near Cedar Ave underscores the importance of crosswalk visibility and driver vigilance—especially in low-light conditions. When pedestrians cross outside designated zones, the chances of injury rise substantially. However, these incidents are not always straightforward, and determining liability can involve several factors, including speed, visibility, and right-of-way.
Clark County consistently ranks among the highest in Nevada for pedestrian-related injuries and fatalities. In many cases, survivors face long recovery periods, costly medical treatment, and challenges accessing necessary support. Even in cases where injuries are not life-threatening, the aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be physically and emotionally overwhelming.
For victims and their families, understanding the steps to take after an accident is essential. Accessing the official crash report, documenting injuries, and knowing your rights can be critical to ensuring you receive the care and resources you need to recover fully.
