One man has died after being hit by a car in the parking lot of the Pahrump Nugget Tuesday morning.
According to the Nye County sheriff’s office, a 77-year-old man lost control of his vehicle while driving in the parking lot of the Pahrump casino shortly after 10 a.m.
The man struck two vehicles before driving into a 42-year-old man who was entering his vehicle with his wife, police said.
The 42-year-old man was knocked to the ground and run over by the driver, who continued driving, crashing into another vehicle and pushing it into the casino’s outside wall, police said.
The driver and the victim were both transported to a Pahrump hospital, where the 42-year-old man later died from his injuries, police said.
The Nye County sheriff’s office is still investigating the accident and did not disclose whether any arrests have been made.
