A Las Vegas man was hit by a car and killed early Tuesday while trying to save his dog who darted out into the street, authorities have said.
The 58-year-old man, David Holtslander, was walking his dog around 3:50 a.m. near an intersection. A 2023 Nissan Kick was traveling east in the area and drove up to a green traffic signal, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a press release.
Based on evidence at the scene, witness statements and crash video, the man’s dog darted into the intersection and when Holtslander tried to secure the animal, he stepped in front of the Nissan, outside of a marked crosswalk.
Both Holtslander and the dog were hit.

Neither the Nissan driver or her passenger were injured, according to the release. The driver stayed on-scene and “showed no signs of impairment,” police added.
Emergency responders were called and took the man to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center's trauma unit, where he was initially listed under critical condition.
Holtslander died from his injuries the next day, according to the Clark County Office of the Coroner and Medical Examiner.
His death marked the 89th traffic-related fatality in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's jurisdiction this year, police said.
Clark County Animal Control responded to the scene and confirmed that the dog did not survive, police said.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Collision Investigation Section is still investigating the crash.
