Press Release:
On Monday, January 8, 2024, at approximately 7:00PM, officers with the Henderson Police Department responded to the 300 block of E. Andrews Avenue in reference to a motor vehicle collision, involving a pedestrian.
On scene, 49-year-old William Lamonte Cash was located in the roadway just a few feet from the curb of the road. Medical personnel transported Mr. Cash to an area medical facility for his serious injuries. The extent of those injuries cannot be released at this time. The vehicle was not immediately located.
A witness placed Mr. Cash on the sidewalk/curb of the road just before the incident and described the vehicle as a large truck, hauling equipment or material on a trailer. The area where he stepped into the roadway was not at an intersection or pedestrian crossing. The witness did not observe the actual contact but had just spoken to Mr. Cash from across the roadway moments before hearing the collision.
Video was collected from the area, and thanks to the witness description, we were able to identify and locate the possible vehicle involved and the operator. This incident remains an open investigation; no other information will be released until the investigation is concluded.
