Crash kills driver of motorcycle
A motorcyclist was killed about 3:30 p.m. Friday in a crash with a passenger vehicle in the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 95 between Flamingo Road and Boulder Highway, authorities said.
The driver of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene, said Trooper Kevin Honea of the Nevada Highway Patrol.
The northbound lanes of the highway were shut down for several hours following the wreck.
Officers diverted traffic off U.S. 95 at Flamingo, clogging surface streets and snarling traffic.
