A 24-year-old Henderson man who died in a crash Sunday morning has been identified.
Nevada Highway Patrol said Zachary Steven was riding a BMW motorcycle south on Interstate 15, about 20 miles south of Moapa, when he struck a tractor trailer about 11:30 a.m.
Steven was behind the trailer and sped up to pass. He tried to squeeze between the trailer and another vehicle, which was also trying to pass the trailer. Troopers said the motorcycle struck the trailer on the back, left side.
Steven was thrown from the motorcycle and died at the scene, troopers said. His death was the sixth fatal crash in the highway patrol's southern command this year.
