A 61-year-old Las Vegas man died Wednesday night after his motorcycle struck a block wall.
Metro Police said the motorcyclist was eastbound on Reno Avenue, west of Pearl Street, at about 10:18 p.m. when the collision occurred. That location is near the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Pecos Road.
Authorities said the motorcycle, a 2001 Suzuki Intruder, failed to maintain its travel lane and drove off the left side of the roadway, striking the wall, police said. The operator of the Suzuki was thrown off the motorcycle. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center’s trauma unit, where he was pronounced dead.
The man’s name will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
This was the 25th traffic fatality in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
