Fatal collision

A pedestrian was killed this morning after he ran into a double-tanker truck in North Las Vegas.

North Las Vegas Police responded at 9:16 a.m. to the incident at Civic Center Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard. Investigators said a 47-year-old man ran in between the first tanker and second tanker as the truck entered the intersection.
