Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2004 | 11:07 a.m.
A North Carolina woman was in critical condition at University Medical Center this morning after being struck by a taxi near the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The woman, whose name was not immediately available, was attending the MAGIC convention. She was walking across Convention Center Drive near its intersection with Paradise Road about 8:15 when she was struck by the Ford Crown Victoria headed east, Metro Sgt. Frank Weigand said.
Witnesses told police the taxi driver, who was going around two lanes of stopped traffic toward a left turn lane, accelerated before hitting the woman.
The driver had not been charged as of this morning.
