A motorcyclist tragically lost his life early this morning in a collision with a semi-truck, according to Metro Police.
The accident was reported around 5:40 a.m. at the intersection of South Jones Boulevard and West Sunset Road, prompting a complete closure of the intersection, as stated by the authorities.
The motorcyclist was traveling east on Sunset, nearing the intersection, while the semi-truck was moving west, intending to make a left turn onto southbound Jones. The collision occurred as both vehicles entered the intersection just as the traffic signal shifted from yellow to red, police reported.
The motorcycle collided with the left side of the truck. The motorcyclist, a 50-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have withheld his name pending the notification of his family.
The truck driver, a 45-year-old Las Vegas resident, remained at the scene and cooperated with the police, showing no signs of impairment. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
