A serious hit-and-run collision has left an individual with critical injuries in Las Vegas. The incident, which involved two vehicles, occurred yesterday at approximately 12:47 p.m. at the intersection of West Washington Avenue and North Tonopah Drive.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, a blue Mercedes Benz E350 reportedly ran a red light and collided with a blue Chevrolet Blazer, which was traveling on a green light. The Chevrolet, driven by Jesus Verdoza and carrying two passengers, overturned after the impact and ultimately struck a cinder block wall. The Mercedes driver fled the scene on foot immediately following the accident.

All injured parties were promptly taken to the University Medical Center’s Trauma Unit, where Maria Perez De Verdoza was admitted for critical injuries, while the other two occupants of the Chevrolet suffered minor injuries.
