On Monday morning, a person in a wheelchair was struck and killed by a car.

The crash happened at 11:19 a.m on October 3 near Cheyenne and Rowland Avenues, not far from Jones Boulevard according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

According to authorities, a person in a motorized wheelchair was struck by a car. Police stated that it was unclear if the pedestrian was crossing at a signal when he or she was hit.
