One Rider Pronounced Dead after Motorcycle Collision near Eastern Avenue, One Other Injured

LAS VEGAS, NV (March 7, 2023) – Saturday afternoon, a 42-year-old motorcyclist died following a two-vehicle accident on Flamingo Road.

The accident took place along Flamingo Road and Eastern Avenue at around 3:57 p.m. on February 18th.

According to reports, a motorcycle was traveling eastbound on Flamingo Road in the far right lane when a white 2014 Jeep Compass also traveling eastbound made a left turn from the center lane.

The motorcycle collided with the Jeep on the passenger side door as a result. Tragically, first responders declared the rider dead at the scene.
