Las Vegas, NV (October 13, 2018) – Nevada Highway Patrol investigated the death of an unidentified motorcyclist Saturday evening, October 13th, on U.S. Highway 95 when he fell from his bike. The incident occurred at around 5:30 p.m. on the southbound lanes of U.S. 95 just north of Boulder Highway, Highway Patrol said. In front of the motorcyclist was a Ford Escape that began experiencing mechanical issues when the hood unlatched and opened, to which the unidentified driver began considerably slowing down.

Authorities believe the motorcyclist attempted to react to the driver’s deceleration by slowing down and dropping the bike to avoid hitting the Ford. The black Harley Davidson motorcycle did not impact the Ford truck, Highway Patrol reported. Emergency medical response arrived and transported the motorcyclist to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Traffic in the area was restricted shortly as investigations were underway.
