His son Aaron is trying to piece together exactly how this tragedy could have happened.
“In his medical report, he didn’t have any heart problems. It was windy that night, so I think it was probably the wind that just pushed him, and he just slipped off the curb,” Aaron Archila-Reyes said.
Archila, who is originally from Guatemala, left behind his wife and 5 kids.
The Archila-Reyes Family has set up a GoFundMe to help with expenses.
Anyone who may have information about this collision or who may have witnessed the Archila in the road is urged to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385 -5555, or at crimestoppersofnv.com.
