A woman has been arrested following a fatal crash Saturday in the south valley.

Kaelyn Elan Swain, 21, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of DUI resulting in death at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, booking and jail records show.

Las Vegas police responded just before noon to the crash at South Las Vegas Boulevard and Barbara Lane, Lt. Grant Rogers said.

Police said a 47-year-old Montana man was driving a 2014 Harley-Davidson north on South Las Vegas Boulevard when a 2004 BMW, traveling south on Las Vegas Boulevard South, tried to turn in front of the approaching motorcycle.

The Harley-Davidson struck the BMW, and the man on the motorcycle was ejected. Police said the motorcyclist was taken to University Medical Center, where he later died.
