As the days get darker, a new campaign aims to encourage drivers and pedestrians to look out for one another on Las Vegas Valley roads.

Between 2008 and 2017, drivers struck and killed 601 people who were walking on streets in Nevada, the overwhelming majority of them them in Clark County. That’s about an average of 60 people per year, according to Smart Growth America, which lists Nevada 11th in pedestrian fatalities.

The City of Las Vegas is moving forward with laying the groundwork to put in another pedestrian bridge on the Strip. The bridge would be located at Sahara and Las Vegas Boulevard.

A 60-year-old driver for Federal Express was killed last night while trying to help the driver of a Corvette, according to authorities.
