Motorcyclist dies in West Sahara crash at traffic signal
A 42-year-old Las Vegas man riding a motorcycle died after a Friday night crash involving three other vehicles on Sahara Avenue at Grand Canyon Drive, Las Vegas police said.

A 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, driven by Oliver Jennings, 36, of Chandler, Ariz., slammed into the rear of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist flew from his bike over the Hyundai and into the rear window of the Nissan before landing on the roadway .
The three other drivers suffered minor injuries. No one was immediately charged; however, police continued to investigate the crash Saturday.
