Man, 72, dies of injuries after car-wheelchair crash

Authorities say a 72-year-old man who was hit by a car while he sat in a motorized wheelchair at a Las Vegas sidewalk bus stop has died of injuries.

Police and the Clark County coroner say Bruce Lee died Thursday of injuries received in the chain-reaction crash Saturday on Bonanza Road at Eastern Avenue.

Police say a Chrysler 300 driven by 25-year-old Dyamond Alexandrea with four other people inside was making a U-turn when it crashed into a Saturn Ion driven by 54-year-old Noah Moffett.

The Saturn careened onto the sidewalk, hitting Lee.

Police said Moffett was suspected of driving under the influence, and was taken to the Clark County jail for testing. No criminal charges were immediately filed.
