A man was killed in a motorcycle crash Saturday morning, the Nevada Highway Patrol reported.

The crash occurred just after 3:20 a.m. on the Flamingo Road off-ramp from southbound U.S. Highway 95. The victim was traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to negotiate the curve of the ramp, the release said. The motorcycle entered the unpaved left shoulder and continued down the embankment when the rider was thrown.

He was taken to University Medical Center and died there, the release said.

The ramp was closed for about 3½ hours for the investigation before reopening just after 7 a.m.
