A 50-year-old motorcyclist was killed Saturday night after he lost control of his motorcycle near Jean.

The motorcyclist was northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard about 10 p.m. when he lost control and veered off the west side of the road, Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Loy Hixson said.

The man struck a curb and was thrown from his motorcycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Hixson said.

The man’s identity will be released by the Clark County coroner’s officer pending notification of next of kin.
