LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A 36-year-old man is dead after crashing an e-bicycle into a cinderblock wall Saturday evening.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the man was riding an e-bicycle, which they also described as an "e-dirt bike," westbound on Lourdes Avenue just after 5 p.m. when he entered the intersection at Paseo Del Prado.

According to police, video surveillance and evidence at the scene indicates that the rider of the e-dirt bike "failed to yield" at the intersection and veered to the right, where he struck the curb and then crashed into a wall, coming to rest on the sidewalk and roadway.
