1 killed, 1 injured after dirt bike, SUV collide in western Las Vegas Valley
A dirt biker was killed and another person was injured after a crash involving a sport utility vehicle in the western valley Tuesday night.
Just before 7 p.m., a 34-year-old woman was driving her Toyota SUV through the intersection of South Hualapai Way and Alta Drive when a 16-year-old boy riding a Honda off-road motorcycle ran a red light and slammed into her car, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon said.
He died at the scene. Police hadn’t released the boy’s name as of 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. The woman driving was taken to a nearby hospital, but she is expected to survive her injuries. The woman did not show signs of impairment, according to a Metro release.
After the crash, the intersection was shut down so police could investigate.
