Authorities in Las Vegas have identified two men killed in separate weekend crashes on busy stretches of roadways in Las Vegas, and police say a motorist surrendered after driving away from one scene.

The Clark County coroner said Monday that 49-year-old Ismael Moreno of Las Vegas died after being struck by a pickup truck about 3:25 a.m. Sunday on Sahara Avenue west of Mojave Road.

Police say Moreno wasn't in a crosswalk.

Police say 24-year-old Samantha McLeod left the scene but later turned herself in to face a felony hit-and-run charge. Jail and court information wasn't immediately available.

The coroner says 51-year-old William Neal Holyoke of Las Vegas died after being struck by a pickup truck about 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Nellis Boulevard at Sun Valley Drive.
