Larry Hicks, a federal judge in Nevada for more than 20 years who presided over cases ranging from U.S. environmental disputes to political corruption trials, died after being struck by a vehicle at an intersection near the federal courthouse in Reno, authorities and his family said. He was 80.
Hicks was pronounced dead at a hospital after the crash Wednesday afternoon, Reno police said in a news release that said the driver cooperated with authorities, and impairment didn’t appear to be a factor.
