A motorcyclist killed Thursday afternoon after crashing into a car has been identified as 21-year-old Travis James Falder, according to the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
Metro Police said Falder, of Las Vegas, was riding a motorcycle north on Fort Apache Road about 4:40 p.m. Thursday when he struck a Honda sedan near Lake South Drive. The elderly couple in the Honda had been attempting to turn left onto Lake South Drive, police said.
