According to the authorities, this fatal Las Vegas motorcycle accident occurred on Friday night at just before 9 p.m. An unidentified 42-year-old Las Vegas man was stopped on his motorcycle for a red light at the intersection of Sahara Avenue and Grand Canyon Drive. As he waited for the light, the 36-year-old driver from Arizona failed to stop his Dodge pickup truck as he approached from behind. The resulting collision sent the motorcyclist flying over the car in front of him before he landed on the windshield of another vehicle. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead.
First and foremost, we'd like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed in this Las Vegas motorcycle accident. The year is not getting off to a positive start in the area, as this incident already marks the fourth fatality in the Metro jurisdiction during the first days of 2012. In addition, this crash will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Nevada motorcycle accidents. Every year, nearly 50 people are killed somewhere in the state because of these collisions.
If the available facts regarding this fatal Las Vegas motorcycle accident are accurate, then it seems possible that the family of the man who was killed could file a Nevada wrongful death action against the driver of the pickup truck. If such an action is filed and it's successful, it could lead to an award of damages that compensates the family for their losses.
