A woman was killed in the south central Las Vegas Valley Thursday afternoon when her car was hit by a small SUV, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

Four people were hospitalized, including the driver who ran the red light, Smaka said. The woman who was hit in the Las Vegas Boulevard intersection died at University Medical Center, he said.

The driver of the SUV fled on foot and was arrested by Las Vegas police. Smaka said police believe the driver was impaired.
