Officers responded at 7:49 p.m. to the crash, which involved a Honda SUV and motorcycle, the North Las Vegas Police Department said in a release Friday.

Police said the motorcyclist was traveling south on Pecos at “high rate of speed.” The motorcycle struck the passenger side of the Honda SUV, which was turning left from northbound Pecos into a parking lot, police said.
