A bicyclist died after a motor vehicle crash off of the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday.
The motorist allegedly drove into the cyclist near Harmon Avenue and La Mar Circle in Las Vegas. The driver then fled from the area which is east of the Strip, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD).
The person on the bicycle suffered serious head injuries. The cyclist was rushed to University Medical Center and died while undergoing treatment.
Police were alerted about the accident at approximately 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Officers later arrested the unnamed driver after advanced technology was used to locate the vehicle, according to Las Vegas TV station KVVU. The driver was found in a parking lot.
The motorist was heading eastbound when the crash took place. The deadly accident caused delays for motorists traveling on Harmon Avenue.
The name of the victim has yet to be released. The cyclist is likely to undergo an autopsy.
Pedestrian Robbed Outside of Casino
A person was held up near Maryland’s MGM National Harbor Hotel & Casino on Saturday.
The bandit approached the victim and pulled out a rifle, according to a local news report. The suspect then stole the person’s possessions. No one was injured during the robbery.
The Prince George’s County Police Department was alerted, according to the Shore News Network.
Officers were searching for the suspect or suspects over the weekend. Police didn’t detail the items stolen from the victim, nor did officers say if the robber stole any cash.

They were charged with

They were booked by the Monticello Police Department. Additional arrests are forthcoming, police revealed.
