KTNV — In honor of World Suicide Prevention Day, a local nonprofit is hosting a community ride for veterans, and civilians can join, too.
We're also bringing you continuing coverage of dangerous valley intersections and what LVMPD is doing to keep drivers safe.
Continuing coverage: Metro Police increase traffic enforcement at a dozen of the most dangerous intersections in Las Vegas
We've seen multiple tragic crashes across the valley recently, and that's exactly why LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill is making traffic safety a top priority.
Just a week ago, Metro announced increased enforcement at some of the most dangerous intersections in the valley.
We mapped out where these intersections are, and they're at all corners of the valley.
Guy Tannenbaum spoke to local drivers who said they're grateful for anything officers can do to help make our roads a little safer.
Happening today: Community ride hosted by local nonprofit
Today, the lights on the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign will turn turquoise and purple to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.
We know mental health is something so many of our veterans struggle with. Nevada's veteran suicide rate sits at about one and a half times the national average, according to the VA.
Local nonprofit Forgotten Not Gone is working to save veteran lives. It hosts therapeutic trike rides, helping veterans enjoy outdoor recreation and giving them a sense of community and connection.
They're holding a community ride today to mark the day and the nonprofit's 12 years of service. Civilians can also bring their own bikes and join in solidarity. It all begins at 9 a.m. in the overflow parking lot next to the Fisher House at the VA Hospital.
Anjali Patel spoke with the nonprofit's founders to better understand what their organization means to the local veteran community.
