Motorcyclist killed in Spring Valley crash
A motorcyclist was killed in a crash in Spring Valley Saturday night.
The crash occurred around 10 p.m. near South Rainbow Boulevard and West Sahara Avenue.
The motorcyclist, a 57-year-old North Las Vegas man whose identity had not yet been publicly released, was riding a 2015 Harley Davidson Softail Breakout FXSB motorcycle south on Rainbow approaching Sahara when he struck a center median in a left turn lane, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The man was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in a lane before he was struck a northbound 2016 Nissan Rogue driven by a 50-year-old North Las Vegas man.
The Rogue had tried to avoid the motorcyclist, but instead hit a northbound 2014 Nissan Altima driven by a 21-year-old North Las Vegas woman and then struck the motorcyclist, according to a Metro news release.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
Neither of the Nissan drivers showed any signs of impairment, police said.
The death, which marks the 143rd traffic fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction in 2022, was still under investigation, police said.
