A crash this morning near UNLV killed a woman on a motorcycle and injured a man riding with her.
According to Metro Police:
Emergency crews were dispatched to Tropicana Avenue, near Deckow Lane, shortly before 6 a.m. The crash involved the motorcycle’s two riders and two sedans.
An initial investigation determined that the 36-year-old woman operating the motorcycle was travelling “at a high rate of speed” west on Tropicana, creating tire-friction marks on the road before the motorcycle fell on its side.
The riders were thrown off the motorcycle, a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja, when it hit a 2010 Honda Accord and a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero.
The motorcyclist died at the scene and the passenger, 20, suffered minor injuries.
No one else was injured. The crash remains under investigation.
