A motorcyclist was killed as a result of a crash with a Chevrolet SUV on US Route 93 on Monday morning.

According to initial reports, the wreck took place sometime during the 10 a.m. hour on the major highway near Coyote Springs, a planned community between Lincoln and Clark counties, when the motorcycle and a Chevrolet Tahoe connected at high speed.

The rider was pronounced dead at the scene. The condition of the SUV driver has not been released, but is not believed to be anything more than a few scrapes or bruises.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation, and the identity of the victim has yet to be released; the county coroner’s office will first notify the rider’s immediate family.

This is just the latest on a long list of fatal accidents that have taken place on Nevada’s roads this year. Already much higher than last year’s numbers, the high number of deadly accidents is prompting police throughout the state to crack down on distracted and unsafe driving in a concentrated effort to prevent such terrible accidents from happening with such frequency.
