Motorcyclist, 21, going at ‘high rate of speed,’ killed in Henderson crash

A 21-year-old Las Vegas man has been identified as the motorcyclist who was killed in a Henderson crash early Tuesday morning that state troopers were blaming on speed.

Noah Riley Bitonio-Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene of the 5:30 a.m. collision on the westbound 215 Beltway just east of Green Valley Parkway, the Nevada Highway Patrol said in a news release Friday.

Bitonio-Rodriguez, who was driving an orange 2022 Suzuki GSX600 motorcycle, was traveling “reckless at a high rate of speed and making unsafe lane changes” as he approached the Green Valley Parkway off-ramp, the Highway Patrol said, citing a preliminary investigation.

The motorcyclist “failed to use due care by reducing speed and entered the second from the far left travel lane, striking a gray 2019 Dodge Charger from behind,” the news release said.
