LAS VEGAS, NV — The fatal crash happened around 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Decatur Boulevard and Spring Mountain Road, where investigators said a 2013 Toyota RAV4 was traveling south on Decatur as the pedestrian crossed from west to east outside of a marked crosswalk.
Police said the man crossed into the Toyota’s path, the front of the vehicle hit him, and he was projected onto the roadway before the SUV ran him over. Medical personnel performed life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to 8 News Now, evidence at the scene, witness statements and surveillance video all helped investigators piece together the collision. Police identified the driver as 27-year-old Victoria Truong, who remained at the scene and showed signs of impairment before being arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge.
Court records show Truong was being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $2,000 bail and was expected in court on June 27. Police said the man’s death marked the 49th traffic-related fatality in Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department jurisdiction in 2026, and the investigation remained ongoing.
