Woman fell out of car before her death; Las Vegas police search for driver

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Las Vegas police are searching for the driver of a car after cameras caught an injured woman appearing to fall out of it and onto the road before she died.

It happened on Tuesday at 2:05 p.m. when a caller reported seeing the unidentified 38-year-old Las Vegas woman. The caller stated that she was lying against a curb on Polaris Avenue north of Highland Drive.

Before the woman was spotted, a nearby business video surveillance camera captured a 2013 Ford Fusion traveling south on Polaris Avenue, approaching Highland Drive. The Ford pulled over to the west curb and stopped. The vehicle’s front passenger door opened, and the pedestrian appeared to fall out of the vehicle and onto the roadway, where an uninvolved southbound motorist later discovered her, Las Vegas Metropolitan police stated.
