North Las Vegas, Nevada – An 8-year-old North Las Vegas boy died last night after sustaining severe injury while playing with an automatic gate.<\/p>\n
On March 3, 2015, just after 5:30 p.m., dispatchers received a 9-1-1 call reporting a young boy was stuck in an automatic vehicular gate at Goldfield Street and Newburg Avenue.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, medical was already treating him. They transported him to UMC Trauma where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The preliminary investigation indicates the gate is an automatic vehicular gate designed to allow motoring traffic to exit the gated community. The boy was trying to crawl through a horizontal\u00a0opening designed to allow the arm of the gate to pass through when the gate swings open.<\/p>\n
Another child riding a bicycle rode over the sensor, activating the gate. The boy couldn’t pull himself out before he was crushed by the arm of the gate.<\/p>\n
This investigation continues, but\u00a0preliminary\u00a0appears to be nothing more than a tragic accident.<\/p>\n
The Clark County Coroner\u2019s office will release the decedent’s identification and official cause of death.<\/p>\n
