police say they have a witness in this case, a person who saw everything happen and then add to that the driver of the vehicle. that driver says they could not stop. they were in the road. they saw the person in the crosswalk. the light was green for on coming traffic. >> a witness who was walking on the side of the road states that the light was green for our vehicle. the pedestrian was crossing against the signal. he stepped out in vehicle. the driver stated to our investigators he didn't see him until the last minute when he applied his brakes. at that point it was too late. >> it was too late. the investigation did continue for several hours. we know the person killed has been identified as a man. we know nothing more about that person. the identity could come from the clark county coroner's office. the driver of that car was not
