Police are investigating a critical injury hit and run accident that occurred on Wednesday night near the Strip.
Officers say Antonio Gomes was leaving the Stratosphere parking garage when he pulled up to a curb and started to get out of his truck. As he opened the door and exited, a white SUV struck him.
The SUV fled the scene heading northbound on Fairfield. Gomes was transported to UMC Trauma in critical condition.
Police say they have found evidence that the SUV is a 2004 or 2005 white Lincoln Navigator. The vehicle should have moderate right front damage around the headlight area.
