Las Vegas Police Say Cyclist, Man In Car Who Pushed Her Dead

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say two people are dead after a man hung out of a car window to strike a bicyclist and then fell himself.

Lt. Raymond Spencer said the deadly incident that occurred Sunday morning was beyond "senseless."

According to investigators, a male passenger in a minivan partially hung out of the window and deliberately pushed a bicyclist. The victim, in her mid-50s, was knocked to the ground and died from the impact.
