Leavitt said the woman hit a 66-year-old custodial worker who was outside the building. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the worker was critically injured but is expected to survive.

Leavitt told KVVU-TV the woman kept hitting the gas and her vehicle was stuck in the building’s entrance. Employees had to remove the woman to get her to stop.
