The Clark County coroner’s office on Friday released the identity of a man who died Thursday night after crashing his motorcycle near the Strip.

Jared Nelson, 25, of Las Vegas, died of blunt-force injuries after colliding with two cars about 11:30 p.m. on Dean Martin Drive and Jerry Lewis Way, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Police said the motorcyclist, traveling south on Dean Martin Drive, ran a red light and hit a Nissan Sentra that was turning left from Jerry Lewis Way.

The force of the impact caused the Nissan to rotate and strike a BMW 4 series sedan, police said. The Nissan’s drive suffered minor injuries and the BMW’s driver was unharmed.

The motorcyclist was taken to University Medical Center, where he later died, police said.
