let's get you up to date with the latest local headlines. a 37-year-old woman died after she was hit by a car. metro police say the woman was in the crosswalk on eastern near st. louis, but witnesses say the signals for the crosswalk were not activated. this happened at about nine last night. the driver claimed not to have seen her. that driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with police. neither speed nor impairment were suspected causes. early yesterday morning... a 50 year pedestrian was killed in the same and eastern. and just hours earlier - a 60 year old woman was hit and killed - while crossing boulder highway. boulder highway is considered one of the most dangerous roads in southern nevada for pedestrians. fox five's cyndi lundeberg takes a closer look - at a high-risk stretch of road. its the deadliest stretch of roadway in the valley... nats last year on boulder highway... 12 pedestrians... 2 bicylists and 4 people in cars died. wednesday night... a similiar story.

just after 11... was hit and killed. ... i spoke to the nevada highway patrol in december about these problems. weve had boulder hwy on our sights for a number of years that's tony illia with n-dot .. and he went on to tell me n-dot wwould be making changes... including .. installing lights to crosswalks so drivers know where people are at night. n-dot said the project would take six to eight months to complete ... and eight months later it's not completed. nats metro police say the man killed wednesday was walking in a crosswalk .. but against a don't walk sign. erin breen is the director of the vulnerable road users project at unlv... and thinks the 60 year old might of ran out of time getting across. so we wanted to try it... its funny because we are so used to cars doing that we finished the walk... with no time to spare. so here we are in our 30 seconds boom right to the other side could we have walked faster yes but we are very able bodied pedestrians here get 30 seconds to

the middle if they run out of time... breen says when most people get to the middle they dont stop. okay so these guys they started their cross.... and theyre going to keep coming even tho that hand says do not cross breen told us ndot is working hard... but says ultimately thigns wont get done unless people in the valley demand changes we forget we have mean streets in las vgas and this is the meanest of all n-dot has lowered the speed limit on boulder highway from 55 to 45. there is also a 3 million dollar upgrade to boulder highway in the works. it's tentatively set to start in summer 2017. before going back to school... sunrise hospital is giving some teens a crash course in driving safety. a trauma talk was hosted by the hospital's trauma service unit. sunrise says more teens die from car crashes than all diseases combined. the teens watched live crash demonstrations and took a tour of the intensive care unit. they also discussed

drunk driving and how to properly wear your seatbelt. "kids are maybe wearing their seat belt but their putting it under their arm, behind their back. they can still be ejected by not wearing their seat belt correctly so we have the problem of them not wearing their seat belt at all, wearing it incorrectly and being distracted when they drive." another lesson the kids learned was to be aware of other drivers on the road who they think may have been drinking. a compromise could be on the way - that would allow a popular off-highway race from las vegas to reno to run next week - through a new national monument. the bureau of land management is still considering whether to give final approval to the 640-mile, two- day race that would pass though the basin and range national monument - that president obama designated last summer. conservation groups have objected to plans for the race scheduled to begin next friday. but a member of a blm advisory panel who represents environmental organizations told the reno-

appears workable. it would set the speed limit at 35 miles-per-hour on existing dirt roads through a 37-mile stretch of the monument. it also would prohibit racers from passing each other inside the monument's boundaries. we're getting a first look... at a monkey who traveled on a flight from columbus, ohio... to las vegas. in this video... you can see the man present the monkey to t-s-a officers at john glenn international airport. he was approved to take the animal security... but frontier says he wasn't approved to bring the animal on board. rather, the airline says the he stuffed the monkey in a duffle bag and slid it underneath his seat. once at the gate, police say the passenger showed all documents proving the monkey was a therapy animal... so he wasn't arrested. three newly hatched banded bamboo sharks... are being named in honor of olympic champions.
