The incident took place at 5 pm near the intersection of South Las Vegas Boulevard and West Reno Avenue, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported. The site is near the Luxor Hotel & Casino.<\/p>\n

A portion of the northbound Strip lanes was closed to traffic for several hours between the Mandalay Bay and the Tropicana Las Vegas gaming properties, according to KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It reopened by 10:45 pm.<\/p>\n

Strip Temporarily Closed to Traffic<\/h2>\n

The road closure initially allowed emergency personnel to treat the victim. After he was transported to the hospital, police continued to investigate the accident scene, so they needed to keep traffic from the busy thoroughfare.<\/p>\n

An updated condition on the injured pedestrian was not immediately available on Wednesday. Police did not detail his injuries, though the Review-Journal<\/em> described them as \u201csubstantial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The SUV, described as a 2015 Ford Escape, was traveling northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard when the accident took place. The driver had a green light. The pedestrian was in the crosswalk, despite having a \u201cDon\u2019t Walk\u201d signal, Metro police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Metro Lt. Greg Phenis added that initial evidence did not suggest the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when the accident took place, the Review-Journal<\/em> said. No other injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s name was not released by Metro police. They did say he lives in North Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Earlier Motorcycle Accident<\/h2>\n

In August, a man injured in an Aug. 5 Las Vegas motorcycle crash died later in the month. The accident was at the Strat Hotel, Casino, and Skypod<\/a> on Las Vegas Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The motorcycle was heading south on Las Vegas Boulevard. It then collided with a Nissan Altima north of Bob Stupak Avenue, near the entrance to the casino\u2019s valet area. The motorcycle was being operated \u201crecklessly,\u201d witnesses told police, the Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
