Motorcyclist killed in east Las Vegas crash
A local motorcyclist died Tuesday after a two-vehicle crash in east Las Vegas, police said.
Officers were called at 2:44 p.m. to East Sahara Avenue and Winterwood Boulevard, near South Nellis Boulevard, for a crash involving a 2007 Harley-Davidson and a 2017 Toyota Camry, according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Investigators believe the Camry had just left a stop sign when the Harley entered the intersection at the same time, striking the car, police said.
The rider, a 56-year-old Las Vegas man, was ejected from the bike. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center where he died.
The juvenile driving the Camry was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
The intersection is expected to receive a traffic light Wednesday morning, according to a statement from Clark County sent an hour before Tuesday’s crash.
Investigators do not suspect the driver of the sedan was impaired, but it was unclear if the motorcyclist was impaired or speeding.
