Woman, 92, was on her way to play bingo when killed

A Las Vegas woman says her 92-year-old sister was run over by a pickup truck Saturday as she was on her way to play bingo.

KSNV-TV reports Francisca Izquerido says her sister Elvira Morales was crossing a street to catch a bus heading to the Boulder Station Casino when she was hit. She died at the scene, Metro Police said.

Police said the driver did not see Morales before he ran her over.

Family members say Morales was a proud United States citizen who emigrated from Mexico in the late 1950s.

Nicole Show, a neighbor who lives in the area where the accident took place, thinks it would help if there were more crosswalks in the area.
