A 60-year-old man riding a 2008 Thoroughbred Trike south of Maryland Parkway at Twain Avenue has been identified as Bobby J. Johnson of Henderson, the Clark County coroner's office said today.
Metro Police said the man was riding the trike in the right lane of Maryland Parkway when he was hit and tossed off the trike from behind at about 11:54 p.m. Friday.
The driver of a 1998 Nissan Maxima, 33-year-old Modesto Lopez-Hernandez of Las Vegas, then ran over the victim, police said.
The trike rider was taken to Sunrise Hospital and was pronounced dead at 1:44 a.m. Saturday from multiple traumatic injuries, the coroner's office said.
The Nissan driver was arrested and charged with felony driving under the influence. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
The incident, which is the 69th traffic-related death in Metro's jurisdiction this year, remains under investigation, police said.
