Authorities say a bicyclist was struck and killed by a dump truck, making it the fifth traffic-related fatality in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Police say the crash occurred around 6 p.m. Sunday near Desert Inn and Paradise.
Investigators believe a 48-year-old woman on the bicycle may have tried to pass the dump truck.
They say she hit the truck's right front tire, which then rolled over her. She later died at a hospital.
The driver remained at the scene.
The incident came just a few hours after a woman was killed after investigators say one car failed to yield.
On Saturday, Nevada Highway Patrol officials say a woman died after crashing into a disabled vehicle on Interstate 215. A motorcyclist and a bicyclist also died in separate incidents.
