Motorcyclist killed in northwest Las Vegas Valley crash
A motorcyclist was killed Saturday night in the northwest Las Vegas Valley when his Harley-Davidson struck a curb.
Las Vegas police said the man was operating a 2016 Electra Glide at 9:26 p.m., traveling east on West Deer Springs Way near North Beloved Street, when the motorcycle hit a raised curb.
“The collision ejected the motorcyclist onto the south sidewalk,” police said in a press release, adding “arriving medical personnel transported the motorcyclist to the University Medical Center’s Trauma Unit in critical condition.”
The man, identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as 51-year-old Paul Fleetwood of Las Vegas, died of blunt trauma at the hospital. His death was ruled an accident.
The death is the 86th traffic-related fatality in Las Vegas police jurisdiction this year.
