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.
