Updated June 24, 2017 - 1:02 pm

A 40-year-old man died in a motorcycle crash Saturday on Kyle Canyon Road north of Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

Just after midnight Saturday the man was traveling east on the road — also known as State Route 157 and leading to Mount Charleston — when he lost control of his motorcycle and left the roadway near mile marker 6, Highway Patrol trooper Jason Buratczuk said.

The man died at the scene. Buratczuk said investigators suspect the man was impaired.

The Clark County coroner will release the man’s name after family has been notified.
