A motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a large SUV as it was making a turn on US 93 Monday afternoon in Las Vegas.

According to accident reports, 64-year-old Barry Craig Isom was riding his 2002 Harley Davidson northbound on US 93 near mile maker 67 when it attempted to make a pass on a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe that was making a turn off the highway onto a dirt road.

While attempting to make the dangerous pass, the motorcycle clipped the right rear portion of the large SUV and it went down, sending the rider and bike tumbling across the highway.

Isom’s injuries sustained in the crash were severe, and he was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident at 12:55 p.m. The three occupants of the Tahoe were not injured in the scrape.

Police temporarily shut down lanes of US 93 to clean up the wreckage and investigate the accident. The driver of the Tahoe is not facing any charges as the crash was the result of the dangerous maneuver performed by the motorcyclist.
