Driver arrested after pedestrian struck, killed on Boulder Highway

Pedestrian hit, killed

A 19-year-old Henderson woman was struck and killed by a 1995 Toyota Avalon early Saturday while crossing Boulder Highway in a crosswalk near Corn Street.

Henderson Police spokesman Keith Paul said the woman was walking across Boulder Highway about 2:10 a.m. Ricky Bonilla, 26, was driving south with a revoked license when his Avalon hit the woman, Paul said.

Bonilla, of Las Vegas, was arrested for driving with a revoked license from a conviction for driving while intoxicated, Paul said. Bonilla submitted blood to be tested for drugs and alcohol, but Paul said Bonilla did not appear to be under the influence.

Paul said preliminary investigations indicated that speed was not a factor in the crash, which is under investigation.
