A pedestrian was left in critical condition after a crash on East Flamingo Road near Paradise Road on Monday morning, prompting a road closure just east of the Las Vegas Strip.

Police said the driver stayed at the scene and investigators did not suspect impairment. Flamingo Road was closed between Paradise Road and Palos Verdes Street as officers worked the scene and managed traffic in one of the valley’s busiest resort corridors.
