Pedestrian hit in Stateline dies from injuries

The Carson City man who was struck by a vehicle on Highway 50 in Stateline last month has died.

Cody J. Dobson, 31, was hit Aug. 10 and died 13 days alter.

No one has been arrested.

“The family of Cody Dobson would like the driver of this crash to know a fatality has resulted in this tragic incident. They have set up a bank account with US Bank in the event anyone would like to donate money. The account number is 153755984306,” the Nevada Highway Patrol said in statement.

Officers said Dobson may have been walking on the highway or stumbled from the adjacent sidewalk just east of MontBleu casino prior to being struck. One witness who stopped to render aid told troopers he was driving west when he observed a person lying in one of the eastbound lanes. When he turned his vehicle around to provide assistance, he saw a full size blue Dodge pickup strike the downed pedestrian. The pickup may have a camper shell matching the color of the vehicle.

Officers also said alcohol appears to be a contributing factor because Dobson displayed signs of intoxication at the scene and the hospital.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Doug Hildebrand at (775) 689.4623 or dhildebrand@dps.state.nv.us.
