A motorcyclist was killed after he collided with a pickup truck in North Las Vegas on Monday night, police said.
Officers were called to the area of Las Vegas Boulevard North and East Lake Mead Boulevard around 7:30 p.m., North Las Vegas police spokesman Alexander Cuevas said.
The motorcyclist was traveling south down Las Vegas Boulevard, ran a red light and crashed into a pickup truck that was traveling east on Lake Mead, Cuevas said. The motorcyclist was thrown off the bike and was pronounced dead at the scene.
