Fatal collision
A 13-year-old boy who was fatally struck by a vehicle Monday morning while trying to get to school in Henderson was identified Tuesday.
The Clark County Coroner's Office said the victim was Nathaniel Miller, of Henderson. An official cause of death from the coroner is pending.
Henderson Police spokesman Keith Paul said the incident happened at about 7 a.m. Monday near Warm Springs Road and Pueblo Boulevard, which is east of Warm Springs' intersection with Lake Mead Drive. Authorities said Miller was riding a bicycle eastbound against traffic en route to B. Mahlon Brown Junior High School when he was struck by a white Toyota Sienna minivan.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses came to the aid of Miller immediately after the crash but couldn't find a pulse.
The driver of the minivan, Ki Fung, 56, wasn't injured. Police said speed and alcohol aren't believed to be factors in the crash. Paul said Fung has consented to giving a blood sample.
Fung hasn’t been charged as of Tuesday in connection with the accident, but the investigation is ongoing.
This is the fifth fatality in four traffic accidents this year in Henderson.

56 is too old?
SmarterThanWho? 56 years is not old. You seem to be jumping the gun moron. God forbid, but it may have been the boy's fault. R.I.P. little man. This is a painful time for anyone with compassion and his whole family.
I concur. 56 is old? Seems to me that the last motorist we read about who killed a bicyclist was well under 50. If we're going to start banning drivers, can we start with the idiots that text and drive?
Smarterthanyou: (AKA notverysmart)
56 is now too old to drive? Where did you come up with that one?
How about waiting until the facts of the investigation are released before making such an ignorant comment?
The article has no information regarding how the accident happened or who was at fault.
Regardless, it is so sad, a terrible tragedy.
I'm a 56 year old driver. I've never had an accident and have had one moving violation...32 years ago. I've driven across country 4 times and average 11,000 miles a year here in the valley.
But then again I don't wear my "pants on the ground" or my ball cap "cock-eyed".
What a tragic accident! My thoughts and prayers go out to the boy's family.
Let's not jump to conclusions about fault given the lack of information about the accident. We don't know if the boy was riding in a cross-walk (i.e., jumping out in front of the van), if the driver was texting or otherwise distracted, if the boy had a helmet on, how fast the van was going, if the van had right-of-way, etc.
The saddest part about this story is this: a young man's life has tragically ended, and accidents like this are almost entirely avoidable with due care from all parties involved.
smarterthanyou is really dumberthaneveryone, even Harry and Rory Reid.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the boy's family. Not feeling very good about what is seemingly carless driving by the minivan driver. Unless the boy jumped out in front of the driver with no time to react, this never should have happened. Pedestrians and bicycle riders should have the right of way!!!!!!!
Slow down a little bit. The family of the young man is devastated. The same can be said for the family of the driver. No one involved will ever be the same. Let's allow the process to move forward before attacking anyone.
In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with all involved.
Of course this is an aweful tragic accident and my thoughts are with the boy's family....but everyone seems too quick to judge.
Just the other day I was driving to drop my son off at daycare and came to a stop sign. I came to a complete stop and because there were no other vehicles there at the 4 way stop I began to proceeed when out of nowhere a boy raced across the road in front of me. My view of him coming was blocked because of the huge block wall but still he didn't stop at the stop sign or even slow down one bit. I almost hit him and it scared me. Just saying maybe we shouldn't place blame so quickly.

@SmarterThanYou ~ it's clear to me now why SO many of your posts are removed!!!!
RJ said boy was not wearing a helmet. Very sad... My kids know better than to get on their bikes without one. I'm always telling neighborhood kids to put on a helmet. I've even given two helmets away. I told a 4 year old down the street, that he should wear a helmet and he says "my uncle says, I don't have to wear one". I've seen 3 of the kids wipe out by my house. Parents need to get safety gear on their kids! God bless this family.
They should have bikepaths and walking paths that do not intersect with streets so people can walk or ride to schools, parks, libraries, etc. safely. The area northwest of there is set for a big development... maybe they can rethink how it gets developed. I would have bike/walk paths in backyards between properties that lead to public areas and skywalks over streets if necessary. Doubt it will ever happen, but just a thought.
"But then again I don't wear my "pants on the ground" or my ball cap "cock-eyed".
Touche labdaddy!
I feel sick every time I read articles like this. A mother and father should never have to deal with something like this. If you are the religious type, pray for the family.
My thoughts are with all involved, but I really would like to address a concern about this situation. There are several parents in my subdivision that allow and condone their kids playing in the middle of the street. This is a street for cars, not for kids to play basketball, set up skateboard ramps, ride bikes, lacrosse and almost any other kind of play activity. Kids that are toddlers and teens are doing this. I think the parents condition the kids to think they have the right to do whatever they want on a street and the motorists will slow down or stop for you. I think this may have something to do with the way kids & teens think they can just walk out into traffic and magically everyone will stop for them. Parents need to start taking their kids to parks, rec centers or let them play on lawns, like most other kids do from other towns and ciites and setting up cones in the middle of the street as caution so their kids can play. 100% wrong, careless and laziness on parents part. Again, I do think changing some parenting behavior will help minimize some accidents.
"Pedestrians and bicycle riders should have the right of way!!!!!!!"
Peds do, but bicycle riders are required to follow the same laws as motor vehicles - stop at stop signs and traffic signals.
A few weeks ago I had a cyclist in the bike lane drift out into a travel lane in an intersection and I had to swerve to avoid him. He was mad at me at the next traffic signal! I took a picture of him on my phone for safe keeping...
Pedestrians and bicycle riders should have the right of way!!!!!!!
----------------------------------
NOT TRUE as stated before
Peds have right of way in designated crosswalks as long as they are crossing with the appropriate signals (if any), otherwise they do not have the right of way.
A bicyclist must follow motor vehicle laws when on the street. If the bike rider wants to cross at a cross walk and have the right of way, they must disembark from the bike and walk it across the cross walk.
Personally I have seen too many bike riders choosing according to the their needs, blowing through red light and flying out of streets through stop signs right into the path of cars (one did this to me and he was lucky I was going fairly slow)
"here are several parents in my subdivision that allow and condone their kids playing in the middle of the street. This is a street for cars, not for kids to play basketball, set up skateboard ramps, ride bikes, lacrosse and almost any other kind of play activity."
-------------------------------------
plygrl - Maybe you forgot your childhood, but kids have played this way for years. My parents did when they were kids and I did when I was a kid. This is nothing new in a neighborhood, which is why most streets are 25 mph in those locations, however most people do not go 25 mph.
Our street is a dead end with 15mph and we know the kids play ball, etc.
This child was hit going to school.
We need to wait and see what happened.
This child was hit at an intersection with 5 stop signs. I watch drivers who ignore pedestrian laws who drive through crosswalks while kids are in the crosswalk. I can't figure out how this child was hit and flew where he landed if the driver wasn't speeding.
This is very sad. I go to Brown JHS and knew him. RIP and best wishes for his family.
He was a loving kid that everyone knew and loved. RIP and best wishes for his familyy. I think people should stop assuming things and blaming people when theyy dont know what happened. Please pray for him and his familyy. Even the driver. I knew him well and he was a best friend of mine and he loved to go to school dances. He wanted to join the militaryy and soo much more. So please pay respect to him.
Foxxy4life ^ ^ ^ basically sums it all up. I really wish I had the chance to get to know him better.
people...LISTEN UP!
you CAN NOT ride a bike or a motorcycle in this city.
too many drunk, lost, old, stupid, and uninsured motorists.
stevem, I will agree with you when it comes to motorcycles, but have you never had to slam on the brakes when a child appeared suddenly in front of you from virtually nowhere?
This accident is sad indeed, and no matter what the full story is, no one will be the same.
Did he really post that 56 is old or did I read wrong?
Oh, may this young boy rest in peace. My sympathy and prayers go out to the family!!
Does kind of indicate the age range for the people who posted. If you think about what you thought about "old" when you were 16 to 23 is it now different because you are 55+? Seems that the perspective changes as the situation changes.
Slump dog, Exactly how do you design bike paths and sidewalks that do not intersect with roads? Bridges and tunnels at every intersection?
Notsmarterthanme, So 56 is too old to drive? 86 Maybe, but really?
Condolances to family and friends.
Tragic... a true source of pain for all involved... the 13 year old was my great nephew and his life was taken too soon. May God be with my family in Nev. and may the Lord wrap His arms around all whose lives are effected by this forever.
Wonder what smartthanyou thinks about the age of the 19 year old drunk - Anita whatshername.... too old to drive? too young? No - just TOO STUPID... so maybe we should include an IQ test with the drivers test when issuing licenses huh??
Hey smarterthanyou being much younger then 56 I can objectively say you sure are stupid. What tdkarabatsos said ... your moniker should be dumberthaneveryone.
jpcortez, I saw the accident yesterday and couldn't figure out how he got to where he was if the car wasn't speeding, unless he was riding across the intersection. It didn't occur to me, until I saw it on the news, that the van was headed North and made a right onto Warm Springs and Nathaniel was riding East. When I saw the van it was just past the intersection and I originally thought that he must have pulled out of the way, but it makes sense now.
This was by far the most horrific thing I have ever seen, even if I didn't know him. Nathaniel was a truly good kid and my daughter is devastated. I can't even imagine the pain his family is going through. Everyday I send my kids off to school and pray that they are home safe when I get home from work.
In defense of the driver: It was a horrible, horrible accident. The way that this intersection is set up I am surprised that it hasn't happened sooner. Anyone that has tried to maneuver that intersection can testify that it is maddening at anytime, but really bad when the kids are out. The driver was not speeding, he just didn't see him coming. The school zone ends east of this intersection, and isn't in effect until 7AM. Nathaniel and his friends usually got to school early so that they would have a few minutes to hang out before the bell.
I had to pick up 4 kids this morning because they were all scared to walk to school. I hope that the fear leads to a healthy respect for it may save their lives in the future.
In Ohio, it's against the law to ride AGAINST traffic as you are considered a vehicle when riding on the roadway. Isn't it the same in NV?
God Bless both families at this tragic time in their lives.
To summarize, don't ride against traffic. There are too many ways to "come out of nowhere" doing that, and once you get up to higher speeds, cars don't have time to anticipate your movement and maneuver appropriately. This is too simple and obvious to ignore, and to those who feel entitled to the right-of-way, best of luck with that! The law is a mortal construct, and won't be worth much to you when you're dead.
I too lived in a neighborhood where parents taught their children how to play in the streets with all their crap blocking the road. They put up "CAUTION" signs to warn other drivers instead of taking their kids to a safe park to play in. I think this gives their kids a false sense of security that a car would never hit them and that it is perfectly okay to play in the street.
Sorry, but the roads are for drivers and not children. If they want to ride their bike they have to follow the same laws as a car. And they have to wear a helmet.
Smarter Than You, please remove the word Smart from your screen name. If you think 56 is an age that is universally too old to drive you are the one with brain damage. Please replace the word Smart with Dumb. Come on guy...you must be smarter than that entry would lead one to believe.
I agree with smarterthanyou! Everyone over the age of 25 should be banned from driving in Las Vegas! The accident rate would be almost zero! Traffic offenses and crowded highways would be a thing of the past. Think how profitable the RTC bus lines would be! On top of that, put ever US resident 'to sleep' at the age of 55! This way, morons like smarterthanyou won't live to be 56 and endanger those younger than them!
I usually drive when I visit Vegas. I am consistently amazed by the "popup from nowhere" challenges that happen to me there. It is a very difficult place to drive. Anyone that drinks and drives, or does anything else that impairs complete attention is asking for trouble.
If this unfortunate cyclist was in fact riding against traffic, he was an accident waiting to happen. Always ride with traffic.
For the "young uns" that think 55+ is too old to drive, remember that when your parents (assuming you have some) are now and will be 55+. Will you think they are too old to drive? Especially when you need to be picked up from the night shift at Wendy's?
In reading many of Sun's articles and posts, you'll notice that notsmarterthanyou is one of the first to post and always says something derogatory just to spark up or elevate conversation. Check out the recent Redrock Casino article. It's just silly. Probably paid by the LVSun to say idiotic things just to elevate discussion. (as it says in the small print next to where you type in your comments)
Of course 56 isn't too old to drive. Good grief.
PS: This is a terrible loss for the boy's family. My condolences to them.
As a parent of a young boy, it is horrifying to learn that a family lost a boy at such a young age. My heart goes out to the family.
Someone once told me that the most difficult thing anyone can ever experience is to bury their own child.
Again, my heart goes out to the family for their loss.
Over 20 years ago I was pulling away from a stop sign when a toddler broke away from his mother's grasp and ran into the street. I immediately hit the brakes and swerved in the opposite direction. The boy ended up running into my car rather than me running into him. Aside from being scared he was not hurt and the mother was more worried about me as I was so shaken up.
Without more facts it is not possible to assign responsibility for this tragedy. I empathize with both the family of the young man and with the driver.
My daughter goes to Brown & I drive her to & from school everyday. Where the intersection is there is no school zone & that is where all the students cross to cut thru the desert(short cut)to get to school. Further up is were the school zone is and you see no students there. I have noticed the students start to go thru the cross walk but then they end up in the street to take a short cut. Today after this accident the students were using cross walks correctly and in groups not one person at a time & drivers were more cautious but does it take something bad in life to happen for us to open our eyes. It is sad to say but in two weeks it will be back to normal if something is not corrected by having the school zone at this intersection and making sure students don't J Walk.But I guess the students are trying to hurry home so they don't get jumped by bullies which has been an issue also. At the beginning of the school year there was school police out there making sure students didn't J Walk by the school property. They have cross gaurds for students in elementry schools and as soon as they get to middle school they don't get the same protection. Why is it that some middle schools have cross gaurds? I know parents are to teach their kids from right from wrong and we hope they listen to us but we can't hold their hand and pray they get thru each day safely. My condolences to them.
The laws throughout the Southwest that used to state that Pedestrians and Bicycles have the right of way NO MATTER WHAT!! should be reinstated immediately to stop this senseless loss of life throughout the city.
I would like to extend my condolences to Nathaniel's family. This devistated my son. When I told him he cried and began telling me stories of the fun he had with Nathaniel and his brother Josh when they visited their Grandmother in Oklahoma City. I can not imagine anything worse for a parent to go through. Kay, I pray that you have the support of family and many friends during this time. Pleas know that there is someone in Texas praying for you.
With deapest love and Sympahty,
Janet White, Dale Stoke & Dale Jr
Hey posters all...do yourself a favor and DO NOT respond to smarter...he/she posts in every story with a provocative comment just for the heck of it. Ignore him/her/it.
As a parent with 2 young kids under 2, I just even imagine the pain that the familes are going through tonight. I know that intersection well, I used to live a couple of streets down from there and it was a challenge even under the better times. My sincere condolences go out to the families during this devastating time.
well prayers to the family....
Anyways all that have said whose fault it is are not reading the part about he was riding AGAINST traffic...So how do you figure he has the right of way doing that...But then again the driver could have been driving against traffic...You know how orientals drive and being 56 to boot...I would love to be on the road with dumberthananyone so i could give that jackass a driving lesson....
how sad that in a time of such tragedy all people can do is argue and point fingers! The focus here should be on the fact that a precious life was lost and many lives changed forever. We should be coming together with solutions on how to prevent this from happening again. If anyone is at fault it should be the City of Henderson for denying the requests for crossingguards that are very badly needed at this intersection. How many of you remember being 13??? The truth is that we can teach our kids until we are blue in the face but what they do when they walk out the door is beyond our control. As adults, whatever our age, we should know that we HAVE to be the responsible party especially when we are behind the wheel and most definitely when we are driving amongst children. And yes my children play in the street in my community where the speed limit is 10 mph and I do EXPECT that the cars take caution and stop for them as I do for other people's children and I am FAR from a lazy parent!!!! Now is the time to come together and pray for this boy and all affected by this tragedy...not to argue and point fingers.
Alanna06...THANK YOU. My best friend from childhood emailed me letting me know that Nathaniel Miller (god bless him and take him) is her nephew. There are so many things that went wrong or could have been prevented but I agree with you. Let's not at the moment think or waste any energy on negativity. We have 2 families that were effected here. Let's concentrate on prayer. Lets pray for Nathaniel's family...(my best friend)....let's pray for Ki Fung who probably can't live with himself at the moment. I'm sorry this happened my thoughts and prayers go out to both families. I hope you can all do the same.....@SMARTERTHANYOU....Can you see the impact your words have had. Hopefully next time when you use them....use them for the greater good. Help come up with a solution to this problem. @everyone else give SMARTERTHANYOU a break I have a feeling he's still in middle school and maybe even a friend of Nathaniel's. God Help Us.
Alanna06, stop teaching your kids to play in the street. They are impeding traffic and if it is a public street this is against the law.
It's true that sometimes you can teach your kids until you are blue in the face to no avail. But you have to at least TRY. And it honestly sounds like you aren't even trying. Walk or bike with your children to a park, please, if you care about their safety.
jaycooke...I live in a gated community, where again, the speed limit is 10 mph and ALL the children on my street play outside and somtimes in the street. I teach my children that when they see or hear a car coming to immediately get to the sidewalk. I do take my children to the park but am I supposed to keep them inside at all other times?.
godhelpus...I am on your side. My daughter is also a 8th grader at Brown and has been deeply hurt and saddened by Nathaniel's death and our thoughts and prayers are definitely with Nathaniel's family and all whose lives have been changed by this tragedy. I also pray for smarterthanyou and the many children who are struggling to deal with this loss.
Alanna06, most HOAs have rules against children playing in the street. This is because the HOA is terrified of the liability if someone dies on their private streets.
Read your rules, I bet you are breaking them. No, you aren't supposed to keep your kids inside 24/7 but you should be setting an example for them that breaking safety rules is not okay. If you don't want to do that, please do not expect my sympathy when your child is harmed because YOU TAUGHT THEM that they don't have to follow the rules and laws that were put in place to protect them.
My heart goes out to the families. If the reporting is correct and this young boy was riding against traffic then I'm sorry but the rules of the road apply and no charges will be brought against the driver. This was a tragedy but one we can all learn from so it was not in vane. Bicycles MUST follow the same rules as motor vehicles. Remember? I was not allowed to ride my bike to school until High school for this very reason. You may as well be handing the keys to your car to your child to take to school. This is a wake up call at the expense of a young life. Lets Hear it. Lets Heed it. GB
WOW you people are missing the point...those of you who think you can keep a child bottled up are in for a rude awakening. The only way to help your children is to show them right from wrong and even then do you not think Nathaniel new that you are supposed to drive with traffic not against it? Of course he did! He was taught not to talk to strangers...don't get in a car with a stranger...stand on the sidewalk when there are cars on the street. Use a crosswalk and yield to cars. You guys are missing the point...this is not an argument..this like "divehard" said let use this to teach our young once again and pray that they do listen to what we say. Who cares about HOA. Do you really think this would save a child's life....Maybe but in this case I don't think so.....!!!!!!!! God bless Nathaniel
As godhelp us said "you people are missing the point" I will not use this time for petty argurement...Nathanieal's family is devistated, my heart is hurt, my daughter is hurt along with many of her schoolmates and my focus is on praying for the strength of everyone affected by this. I wish the rest of you could find it in you to not look at the negatives and rights and wrongs but at the saddness caused. If your children were harmed right or wrong I would have the same compasion...even for you! GOD bless!!!
smaterthanyou - there is a bad driver stereotype to point out here but it isn't age.
As a member of Nathaniel's family I want to say thank you to all of you that have sent your prayers and wishes. As for the rest that wish to argue the rules of the road and other issues...Do you not remember being 13? At that age you know the rules your parents taught you and you do as you wish because your 10 feet tall and bullet proof. Was Nathaniel in the right? I have no idea becuase we know as little as the rest of you. Does it matter? NO it doesn't. We still cry all day and try to make sense of it. I hope no one ever has to go through this because its painful enough without having perfect strangers pass judgement and blame a dead 13 year old. Go with God baby. You will be loved, cherished and remembered.
Again my condolences. I do remember vividly times when I was young and did things that could have gotten me killed. Like falling out of a tree or through the ice on the lake. I'm sure you have all heard the saying "We are all proof we survived our childhood" I also remember the sting of my dads belt across my backside. Or, my moms backhand after they found out. Along with the words "Someday when you have kids of your own you will understand why you got disciplined". I know now what they meant. The fears of parenthood. I know it was out of Love and fear that they put the Fear of GOD if not MOM and DAD into me. Beacuse they knew we werent 10 feet tall and bullet proof. I don't blame the kid for being a kid. Or ANYONE for that matter. Just with hope we all can learn from this boys passing. Prayers and God Bless. P.S Only the Good die young...
I do not think this is an issue of age limits on driving. I think its an issue of people not paying attention. The driver of the mini van being in a moving vehicle should have been alert when coming to an intersection. He should have been looking for the unexpected.
My nephew Nathaniel should have also been paying closer attention but like most kids his age all he could think about was getting to school. Nathaniel was a wonderful boy and had the whole world ahead of him, he was a great football player and was a pleasure to be around. He will be missed greatly by all of us. His cousins here are heart broken as they are all about the same age and they are trying to come to grips with the loss of some one so close to there heart and there age. This is their first loss of someone there own age. It has been a very difficult few days.
On the day he died his newest cousin came into this world and it has been one of the saddest and happiest days of my life. The birth of my daughter and the death of my nephew. I was notified of his passing just 30 min before going into surgery with my wife. After the birth of my daughter I called my sister to tell her of the birth of an angel and console her on the loss of her youngest son it was one of the hardest calls I have had to make.
Unless any of you have ever had to bury a child of your own you really do not know the feelings that our going through us at this time.
We do appreciate all of the kind thoughts and prayers.
I would love to hurt the person who did this but it would not bring him back or fix a thing it would just bring more pain to all involved. This man will have to relive that day the rest of his life and that will be hell on earth knowing he ended the life of someone so young.
There is nothing harder than to loss a children before his/her time.People would do good to allow the family this time in peace and reframe from their ridiculous remarks.
~~God Bless you~~, and may you~~ Rest in Peace Nathaniel~~... Aside from the heartbreaking feelings that rush through my blood everytime i take my beautiful 12 yr old daughter ~Kellie~ to Brown middle School, knowing this could of happened to any one of these beautiful children, even my own, just makes me so "ANGRY" when i see,... and its been almost to the day "ONE WHOLE MONTH " !!! already and as of this DAY , MAY 21, 2010 and BY GOD , WHY I ASK "WHY" as i look on the corner where those heartbreaking, yet meaningful, wonderful "BROWN BEARS" Once sat in memory of this innocent young man , as i notice the one i left is gone along with the others all the candles, and letters , nothing left but the writing on the cement wall, some stray ribbon, and STILL NO CROSS WALKS!!
