Nevada has more than 70,000 miles of roadways, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. These roads can be difficult to navigate without a map, but the proliferation of paper directions has dwindled in recent years thanks to new technologies.

An elderly pedestrian was killed in a hit and run by a drunk driver on Friday evening. The driver, 35-year-old Las Vegas man Peter Mitchel, struck a 69-year-old man who was attempting to cross Stober Boulevard around 6:30 pm. Mitchel returned in his Jeep to the scene about an hour later and was arrested.
