Motorcyclist Dies in Crash on Las Vegas Highway
August 10, 2017 | Motorcycle Accident
August 8th ─ Troopers are investigating a fatal collision involving a motorcyclist, who was ejected from his Yamaha sports bike then, ran over by a car on the southbound U.S. 95 highway at Centennial Parkway in northwest Las Vegas early Sunday morning. The incident occurred after the Nevada Highway Patrol Southern Command received reports of a fatal collision between a pedestrian and a vehicle around 4:30 a.m. According to authorities the Yamaha R6 motorcycle was reported stolen prior to the accident.
Witnesses say that the motorcycle entered U.S. 95 at Sky Pointe Drive and was traveling south at a high rate of speed before the motorcyclist applied heavy braking and lost control of the sports bike. The rider was ejected from the Yamaha. A passing motorist attempted to slow traffic and lend aid to the rider, but an Audi A4 struck the motorcyclist during this process. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. The Clark County Coroner's Bureau later identified the victim as 21-year-old Daisjurr McClain Jr. The official cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries and the manner was ruled an accident. The driver of the Audi stayed and was cooperating with authorities. The driver of the Audi was not believed to be impaired.
The collision was similar in nature to last Sunday's incident on Interstate 15 between Spring Mountain and Flamingo roads when a Toyota pickup driver was struck by the driver of a Chevy Suburban who fled the scene. The driver of the black Suburban has not been found and the matter is still under investigation.
