A man was killed having been hit by two vehicles when walking in a crosswalk in front of the Bonanza Casino.
According to police, 54 year old Vincent Yowell of Reno was walking on North Virginia Street at about 4.30 a.m. on Monday. He did not activate the crosswalk lights but started to cross the road and was hit by two cars. The first hurt him and knocked him to the ground and the second hit and killed him. The police have said that the first driver remained at the scene and called for help but they were looking for the driver of the second car, which they said was a silver or light grey 4 door, passenger car.
Later in the week the driver of the second car was found and he said that he thought he had run over a large animal. Police said he was cooperating with investigators and although he was originally thought to be a hit and run suspect, due to his cooperation and statement, the case is being turned over to the district attorney to consider if charges are warranted.
