A man died after Las Vegas police said he hung out of a car and
struck a bicyclist, killing her.
On Sunday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
responded to a report of two people who had been hit by a car,
according to a news release. Police said they arrived and found
a woman and man, who died at the location of fatal incident.
The man was the passenger in a car driven by 22-year-old Rodrigo
Cruz, police said, and he leaned out of the window, pushing a
female bicyclist to the ground. The man then fell out of the car
and collided with a light pole. Officers apprehended Cruz, who
is accused of fleeing the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Investigators said the passenger in Cruz�s car initially tried
to hit two pedestrians on the sidewalk by hanging out of the
minivan, but missed before hitting the bicyclist, according to
KSNV.
�Senseless is an understatement,� Lt. Raymond Spencer said,
according to the station. �You have a woman who was out riding
her bicycle and they pull up next to her and strike her, causing
her to die. It�s an absolute senseless act. There�s no reason
behind this that I can tell you why it occurred, other than
complete stupidity.�
Cruz was booked on accusations of open murder, duty to stop at
the scene of an accident and violating his parole, police said.
The Clark County Coroner�s office will release the names of the
deceased and the cause of death, according to the release, which
did not provide a specific timetable for the information
becoming public.
