A female driver of a passenger car was backing out of her driveway and did not see a female pedestrian walking in the street. The pedestrian, a woman in her 50’s, suffered life threatening injuries as a result of being struck and knocked to the ground.  The woman was transported to a local hospital, but later flown to a Las Vegas hospital to be treated.
