A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Friday night near Harry Reid International Airport.

The crash occurred just after 10:20 p.m. at Frank Sinatra Drive and Reno Avenue, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release. Police said a 2021 Toyota Tacoma was attempting to turn left from southbound Frank Sinatra to eastbound Reno. A 2016 Suzuki GSX-R 750 that was northbound on Frank Sinatra crashed into the Toyota.

The motorcycle rider, a 20-year-old man from Henderson, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The truck driver remained at the scene, cooperated with the investigation and showed no signs of impairment, police said.

The motorcyclist’s death was the 131st traffic-related fatality in the Metro’s jurisdiction in 2025. The crash remained under investigation by Metro’s Collision Investigation Section.
