twitterPedestrian blamed in accident that killed 64-year-old woman
Tuesday, Nov. 26, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
A 64-year-old pedestrian has been blamed for an accident on East Flamingo Road that cost the woman her life.
The victim, whose name has been withheld until relatives can be notified, was walking north across Flamingo and had crossed the eastbound traffic lanes about 5:05 p.m. Saturday when she stepped in front of a westbound 1995 Dodge pickup driven by Sheryl Longfield, 29, of Las Vegas.
The pedestrian was struck by the pickup's left front end and died from her injuries.
Metro Police investigators do not believe Longfield was drinking or speeding, and are awaiting toxicology reports on the victim.
Authorities do not expect to file any charges against Longfield because the victim was jaywalking, police said.
Saturday's accident was the 97th fatal accident in Metro's jurisdiction this year, and the 25th involving pedestrian error.
