A motorist traveling on a southwest Las Vegas road on Friday afternoon clipped a motorcycle to cause a second crash that killed its rider, according to Metro Police.
The crash was reported about 4:30 p.m. on Blue Diamond Road, near Cameron Street, police said.
A 52-year-old Las Vegas man was riding Harley Davidson west in between lanes occupied by a Lexus and a GMC Yukon, police said.
The Lexus switched lanes onto the motorcyclist's lane, clipping him, police said. The man, who died at the scene, was fatally injured when he was struck by the SUV.
Impairment was not a factor in the fatality, the 110th investigated in Metro patrolled streets this year, police said. The crash remained under investigation.
