Las Vegas, NV : Motorcyclist killed in northwest Las Vegas crash on Sunday, August 6, 2017

The Nevada Highway Patrol’s southern command is investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Sunday morning in northwest Las Vegas.
The Highway Patrol reported the deadly crash, which involved motorcycle and a car, about 4:20 a.m. on U.S. Highway 95 near Centennial Parkway.
The motorcycle, a Yamaha R6, was traveling southbound at extremely high speed, witnesses said. The motorcycle, which investigators say was stolen, began to brake heavily for unknown reasons, and the rider was thrown from the bike. He did not hit anything.
One vehicle pulled over to help the motorcyclist, directing traffic around the crash, but a silver Audi A4 did not see the motorcyclist on the ground and drove over him, Trooper Jason Buratczuk said.
The rider was pronounced dead on scene.
The Audi’s driver remained on scene and showed no signs of impairment, Buratczuk said.
Investigators are unsure whether the motorcyclist, a 21-year-old man from Las Vegas, died from being thrown from his bike or from being run over by the Audi.
The southbound lanes were reopened about 11 a.m.
