The motorcyclist killed in the northwest valley Friday has been identified by the Clark County coroner as 22-year-old Jeffery Ray Brooks of Las Vegas.
Brooks was driving south on North Rancho Drive, near North Torrey Pines Drive, at high speed about 6:45 a.m., the Metropolitan Police Department said.
A Toyota Corolla traveling north on Rancho turned left at the intersection, which is not controlled by traffic lights, and was struck by the motorcycle. The impact caused the Toyota to roll onto its roof, police said.
Brooks was taken to University Medical Center, where he died. The Toyota’s driver was taken to UMC with moderate injuries.
