LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A motorcyclist has died from his injuries after a fatal crash on McLeod Drive and East Tropicana Avenue on September 5 around 11:25 p.m., LVMPD shared.
According to evidence found by LVMPD and witness statements, the motorcyclist was traveling eastbound on Tropicana Avenue, nearing the McLeod Drive intersection in the rightmost lane. A Honda Accord, driven by 36-year-old Bryan Vargas-Caicedo, was traveling westbound on Tropicana and made a left turn onto McLeod Drive, colliding with the motorcyclist and ejecting him onto the roadway, police said.
Though the motorcyclist was taken to a nearby hospital, he was later pronounced dead by medical staff, said officials. Vargas-Caicedo sustained minor injuries and was found to exhibit signs of impairment, "and was subsequently booked into Clark County Detention Center," LVMPD said.
