A motorcyclist died Thursday night after he ran a red light and struck two SUVs in North Las Vegas, police said.

Officers were called at 5:52 p.m. to a crash at West Craig Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard where a man in his 20s ran a red light while traveling east on Craig, according to a statement from the North Las Vegas Police Department. A Chevrolet SUV was making a left turn from westbound Craig toward southbound Martin Luther King and was struck by the motorcycle. The rider then struck a Ford SUV in the northbound lanes of Martin Luther King.
