Las Vegas, NV (July 22, 2023) – On Friday morning, a 38-year-old male pedestrian was injured and the authorities arrested Antonio Rodriguez in an East Flamingo Road hit-and-run crash.

It was about 12:46 a.m. when a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle near University Center Drive.

Investigating officers stated that a Nissan Versa driven by Antonio Rodriguez was eastbound on Flamingo Road crossing the intersection of University Center Drive in the left lane. At the same time, the pedestrian was crossing Flamingo Road outside of a marked or implied crosswalk.

The pedestrian was struck by Rodriguez who failed to stop and drove east without calling police or medical.

Always Drive Defensively

When driving, it is important to follow all driving laws and the conditions of the road. If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you see a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles, drivers, and pedestrians.

This is a powerful reminder to always pay close attention to drivers around you. Constantly keep a considerable distance from others just in case the harm is near.
