Coroner IDs motorcyclist killed in northwest Las Vegas crash
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a 30-year-old man who died in a motorcycle crash Wednesday night in the northwest Las Vegas Valley.
He was Daylon Bernstine, the coroner’s office said Thursday. The Nevada Highway Patrol said the crash happened at about 8:20 p.m. when Bernstine, riding a 2018 Yamaha motorcycle, was eastbound on Ann Road and ran a red light at on-ramp to U.S. Highway 95.
Bernstine, who was traveling at a “high rate of speed,” collided with a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox that was turning left from westbound Ann Road onto the highway, the Highway Patrol said. Bernstine was thrown from the motorcycle, and he died at University Medical Center.
Bernstine’s death was ruled an accident, the coroner’s office said.
The Highway Patrol said the motorcycle Bernstine was riding had been reported stolen.
His death marked the 22nd fatal crash, and 23rd fatality investigated by the Highway Patrol’s southern command this year.
