A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Tuesday morning in the Mount Charleston area, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
A blue 2005 Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle was heading north on state Route 158, north of mile marker 7, when it crashed, troopers said.
“The rider of the motorcycle was traveling too fast for conditions while negotiating a curve and entered the right paved shoulder into a scenic overlook parking area,” a Highway Patrol press release said Tuesday.

The rider, Andrew Francisco Villagrana, 28, of Henderson, was pronounced dead at the scene, the Highway Patrol said.
State Route 158, also known as Deer Creek Road, connects Lee Canyon Road to Kyle Canyon Road in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area.
