LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man who drove impaired on a suspended license and crashed into a bicyclist, killing him, while allegedly going nearly double the speed limit, agreed Thursday to serve at least four years in prison, documents said.

On Oct. 3 around 4 p.m., officers responded to a report of a collision between a car and a person riding an electric bicycle near Harmon Avenue and Lamar Circle just east of the Las Vegas Strip. Witnesses told police the driver, later identified as Luis Fernandez, 27, drove off after the crash.

Fernandez was driving with a suspended license, police said. The state suspended it indefinitely as of January 2022. Witnesses estimated he was driving between 60 and 70 miles per hour in the 35-mile-per-hour zone, documents said.

When officers told Fernandez someone had died, he reportedly replied, “That fool died?” police said.

Fernandez agreed to plead guilty to a charge of DUI resulting in death and serve between four and 10 years in prison, documents said.

A sentencing date was not available as of Thursday.

Fernandez was out of custody on $10,000 bail. It was not immediately clear why Fernandez’s license was revoked.
