Crash scene
A motorcyclist was critically injured Saturday afternoon when he collided with a car on Lake Mead Boulevard, in the Summerlin area, Metro police said.
The crash happened about 3:30 p.m. west of Rampart Boulevard. Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicate the motorcycle was headed west, and a 2002 Mitsubishi Spyder was attempting to make a left turn from eastbound Lake Mead Boulevard into a shopping center, police said.
The Mitsubishi failed to yield the right of way and turned in front of the motorcycle, police said. The motorcyclist, identified as 25-year-old Jeremy Damero of Las Vegas, attempted to avoid a collision by braking, but hit the right front fender of the car. He was taken to University Medical Center, where he was admitted in critical condition.
The driver of the car, Tod McGrath, 42, of North Las Vegas suffered minor injuries, police said.
The crash is under investigation, Metro said.
