A man died after Las Vegas police said he hung out of a car and
struck a bicyclist, killing her.

On Sunday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
responded to a report of two people who had been hit by a car,
according to a news release. Police said they arrived and found
a woman and man, who died at the location of fatal incident.

The man was the passenger in a car driven by 22-year-old Rodrigo
Cruz, police said, and he leaned out of the window, pushing a
female bicyclist to the ground. The man then fell out of the car
and collided with a light pole. Officers apprehended Cruz, who
is accused of fleeing the scene before law enforcement arrived.

Investigators said the passenger in Cruz’s car initially tried
to hit two pedestrians on the sidewalk by hanging out of the
minivan, but missed before hitting the bicyclist, according to
KSNV.

“Senseless is an understatement,” Lt. Raymond Spencer said,
according to the station. “You have a woman who was out riding
her bicycle and they pull up next to her and strike her, causing
her to die. It’s an absolute senseless act. There’s no reason
behind this that I can tell you why it occurred, other than
complete stupidity.”

Cruz was booked on accusations of open murder, duty to stop at
the scene of an accident and violating his parole, police said.

The Clark County Coroner’s office will release the names of the
deceased and the cause of death, according to the release, which
did not provide a specific timetable for the information
becoming public.
