Submitted by Editor on Sat, 08/10/2013 - 10:56am
A 31-year-old Carson City man was critically injured early Saturday morning at Lake Tahoe after being hit by a Dodge pickup that sped away on Highway 50 and Lake Parkway in Stateline, the Nevada Highway Patrol reports.
This hit and run was report 3:13 a.m. The 31-year-old Carson City man was walking on the road just east of the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa when he was hit. It is possible the man may have been struck by more than one vehicle, said Trooper Chuck Allen.
One witness who stopped to render aid told troopers that he was driving west when he observed a person lying in one of the eastbound travel lanes. When he turned his vehicle around to provide assistance, he saw a full size blue Dodge pickup strike the downed pedestrian, Allen said.
The pedestrian was initially transported from the scene by ground ambulance and taken to Barton Memorial Hospital before being flown to Renown Regional Medical Center by Cal Star. The patient is in critical condition and NHP is attempting to make contact with family members before releasing his name.
