Las Vegas police said Joshua Howard had been traveling on Oakey on a 2002 Triumph Triple Speed about 7:30 p.m. when a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado, driven by 71-year-old Jerry Simpson, turned left on a solid green light into Howard’s path.

Howard, 42, was taken to University Medical Center with critical injuries. Simpson remained at the scene.

Las Vegas police were investigating the crash.
