A motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a vehicle Monday morning in the central Las Vegas Valley.
The crash occurred just after 6:50 a.m. on Rancho Drive and Coran Lane.
A 28-year-old Las Vegas man, was speeding south on Rancho on a 2015 Yamaha FZ-09 according to a Metropolitan Police Department release. The driver of a 2015 Chrysler 2000 driving north on Rancho turned left in front of the motorcyclist into a private drive.
The crash ejected the rider, and both vehicles caught on fire. The driver of the Chrysler was able to escape the vehicle before it became fully engulfed in flames.
The Clark County coroner’s office said the rider, identified as Sean Scott, 28, of Las Vegas, died at the scene.
A black car with a destroyed front end and broken windows was stopped outside Wildfire Rancho. The car was pointing east in the southbound lanes.
Debris was scattered south of the black car, and the both sides of the road remained closed at 9 a.m., with a dozen police cars investigating the crash.
The other driver showed no signs of impairment.
Rancho was closed in both directions from Coran to Spring Road for nearly 6½ hours before reopening to traffic.
