Motorcyclists on the roads are extremely common in and around Las Vegas, and every time one of them takes to the streets, the trust that’s implicitly placed in other drivers is perhaps more critical for those on smaller vehicles than those in sedans, trucks and SUV’s. The reason is that motorcyclists are much more vulnerable to injury when collisions occur. Sunday evening, a motorcyclist paid a heavy price for what appears at this point to be a mistake by the driver of a sedan.
According to the Las Vegas Sun:
“A motorcyclist from Colorado was critically injured Sunday evening when he collided with a vehicle that turned in front of him on North Las Vegas Boulevard, authorities said.
Metro Police responded at 6:27 p.m. to the crash at North Las Vegas Boulevard and Sloan Lane, which is adjacent to Nellis Air Force Base and southwest of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Authorities said a 2006 Chrysler 300 was northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard attempting to turn left across southbound traffic.
Michael Price, 46, of Grand Junction, Colo., was riding a 2007 Harley-Davidson motorcycle southbound on Las Vegas Boulevard when the Chrysler turned into his path, investigators said. Price wasn’t able to stop, so he laid the motorcycle down and was ejected into the Chrysler, police said.”
