71-year-old moped operator dies days after south Las Vegas crash
A 71-year-old moped operator struck by a vehicle last month in the south Las Vegas Valley has died.
Michael Lasseigne of Las Vegas died Friday at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, according to a Metropolitan Police Department release.
The crash occurred just after 2:20 p.m. Jan. 24 on South Eastern south of East Maule avenues. Investigators say a 2012 Honda Civic was stopped, facing westbound, in a private drive at Sunset Park. A 2024 Zhejiang Senling moped northbound on Eastern approached the drive’s exit when the Honda began a turn into its path. The ensuing crash resulted in the moped rider being ejected.
The rider’s death marks the 13th traffic-related fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction for 2026. It remains under investigation by Metro’s Collision Investigation Section.
