Police say the other driver will face charges for felony hit and run.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area where the crash happened as the investigation is ongoing.
This is the second Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department motorcycle officer to be struck by a car this week. Over the weekend, another officer was injured in a three-vehicle crash.
