Woman arrested after fatal hit-and-run in Las Vegas, NV
Early Saturday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) arrested a 19-year-old woman in connection with a tragic hit-and-run crash that occurred around 4:25 a.m. near E. Lake Mead Boulevard and the Mt. Hood Street intersection. The incident involved a silver sedan that was driving eastbound on Lake Mead when a female pedestrian attempted to cross the street. The vehicle struck the 24-year-old pedestrian, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and proceeded to drive away without stopping. The Clark County Coroner’s Office will identify the victim once next of kin has been notified. Joanna Meza, 19, from North Las Vegas, was taken into custody by the LVMPD in connection with the crash. The police had been actively searching for the car involved in the incident prior to the arrest.

Help in a Crisis
Following a traumatic event, people often feel helpless, confused, and experience emotional shock. They are confronted with a situation for which they are totally unprepared.
Often there is no one available in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy to guide the victims through these difficult hours. The TIP volunteer provides this necessary temporary support until persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, neighbors, and other resources in the community.
