Written by Las Vegas Accident Lawyers Monday, 30 January 2012 12:50

According to the authorities, this fatal Pahrump pedestrian accident occurred on Tuesday night at approximately 8:10 p.m.  An unidentified woman was walking along State Route 160 near Wheeler Pass Road in Pahrump.  At that point, she was hit by a civilian vehicle and knocked into the opposite lane of the road.  As she was lying in the road, a sheriff's office vehicle that was moving in the other direction hit her.  The force of the impacts were too much for her to survive.
