Car-pedestrian crash

A Las Vegas man suffered critical injuries after he entered the path of a car late Friday on the Las Vegas Strip, authorities said.

Metro Police responded at 10:06 p.m. to the crash on Las Vegas Boulevard south of Palazzo Drive, which is near the Palazzo hotel-casino.

Investigators said a 24-year-old man, identified as John Scieno, was crossing Las Vegas Boulevard from west to east outside of any crosswalk when he entered the path of a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria traveling northbound in the left of three travel lanes. The driver, Jonathan Kiaha, 64, of Las Vegas, wasn't able to stop before striking the man, police said.

Scieno was taken to University Medical Center's trauma unit, where he was admitted in critical condition, police said. Kiaha wasn't injured.

The Metro Police Accident Investigation Detail is continuing to investigate the crash.
