The front of the Honda motorcycle struck the passenger side of the Kia.

The motorcycle overturned and the rider, identified as 31-year-old Pili Richards of Las Vegas, was ejected. He was taken to UMC Trauma with critical injuries.

The Kia driver, 68-year-old Joan Aston, received minor injuries. Police said she remained at the scene and showed no signs of impairment.
