A motorcyclist who police said was “traveling too fast for conditions” was killed after a crash at West Flamingo Road and the 215 Beltway about 7:20 p.m. Friday, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Tristan Warren Ruble, 25, of Las Vegas was transported to an area hospital for injuries sustained in the crash and was later pronounced dead.
A preliminary investigation indicated that a black 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle traveling westbound on Flamingo Road in the far right turn lane entered the 215 northbound on-ramp, a Highway Patrol news release said. The motorcyclist, who was driving on a curve, struck the left concrete median wall and was ejected, troopers said.
