Heartbreaking End: Woman in Wheelchair Dies Weeks After Las Vegas Hit-and-Run Horror

A tragic incident has left the Las Vegas community in mourning, as a woman who was struck in a hit-and-run while in her wheelchair has succumbed to her injuries weeks after the horrific crash. The victim, identified as 64-year-old Robin Jean Miller, passed away at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center on June 10, according to information released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

The devastating collision occurred on the evening of May 23.

Miller was navigating her electric wheelchair across Boulder Highway, near Tropicana Avenue, around 7:35 p.m. when she was struck by a vehicle. The driver of the offending vehicle failed to stop and render aid, fleeing the scene and leaving Miller severely injured. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers were quick to respond to the grim scene.

Following the crash, Miller was immediately transported to Sunrise Hospital, where she received intensive care for her critical injuries.

Despite the efforts of medical professionals, her condition deteriorated over the subsequent weeks, ultimately leading to her death. Her passing elevates the severity of the initial crime to a fatal hit-and-run, intensifying the police investigation.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this callous act to come forward.

The search for the driver responsible for Miller’s death is ongoing, and the community is called upon to assist in bringing closure to this heartbreaking case. Witnesses or individuals with knowledge of the vehicle or driver involved are encouraged to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department directly or through Crime Stoppers to ensure justice for Robin Jean Miller.
