Coroner IDs woman killed in motorcycle crash on I-15 at Blue Diamond

The Clark County coroner’s office has released the name of a woman killed on Interstate 15 near the Blue Diamond exit.

She was 31-year-old Kristy M. Singer, the coroner’s office said. Her city of residence is unknown and her cause of death was blunt force injury.

Singer’s motorcycle was traveling east on Blue Diamond Road just after 9 p.m. Sunday and took the flyover ramp toward northbound I-15, Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chelsea Stuenkel said. The motorcycle was operated by a man and Singer was a passenger.

The motorcycle left the travel lane and hit the wall, ejecting both riders of the motorcycles over the wall of the ramp and onto I-15, Stuenkel said.

Singer died at the scene. The man was taken to University Medical Center in critical condition, according to police.

I-15’s northbound lanes were shut down at Blue Diamond, and traffic was being diverted onto a nearby access road. Stuenkel said the freeway reopened about 2 a.m. Monday.
