Las Vegas, NV (March 14, 2022) – North Las Vegas Police Department officers are investigating a deadly accident that took place in the 4900 block of Camino Al Norte involving an SUV and a motorcycle on Monday, March 14.

Initial reports indicate that the driver of an SUV collided with the motorcycle in front of the local post office at southbound Camino Al Norte. The motorcyclist, believed to be a man in his 40s, suffered critical injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the SUV remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation. No further details have been released, though officers are still investigating at this time.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim.

Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada

Officials with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report that nearly 13 passenger vehicles out of every 100,000 are involved in a fatal accident. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are at a much higher risk of serious injury and death. In fact, crashes involving a motorcycle have a fatality rate of more than 70 per 100,000.

Throughout the state of Nevada, there were over 50 motorcycle fatalities in just one year alone. This figure marks a decrease from the previous year, though motorcycle fatality rates over the past decade have been steadily rising.

Sadly, it’s all too clear that serious or even deadly motorcycle accidents in Nevada are an unfortunate fact of life, particularly on the busy streets of Reno, Las Vegas, Clark, Carson City, and beyond. Furthermore, when it comes to these fatal accidents, victims and their families pay the price in the aftermath.

Moreover, those affected often cope with financial difficulties, long-term physical issues, and emotional trauma. When victims die as a result of these incidents, their loved ones may be left in an unbelievably tough position. Families must often endure exorbitant medical and funerary expenses. From lifelong debilitation and disabilities for victims to severe trauma for those left behind when victims pass away, those affected are left to pick up the pieces.

Thankfully, if you’ve sustained injuries or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may have legal recourse.
