Accident between vehicle and dirt bike results in critical injuries
On Wednesday afternoon, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that a 19-year-old had been critically injured in a crash in the south, central area of the valley. The crash happened at 2:29 p.m. when the 19-year-old, who had been riding a dirt bike eastbound on Windmill Lane approaching Giles Street near Las Vegas Boulevard, was traveling at a high rate of speed and performing a wheelie. At the same time, a 37-year-old driving a Silverado entered a two-way center lane and drove into the path of the dirt bike. This caused the rider to overturn and partially eject, sliding into the left side of the truck. The motorcyclist was transported to UMC Trauma with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the pickup truck remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.
