The person who was involved in this serious motorcycle crash in Clark County wasn’t a local resident of Southern Nevada. No, this person came to visit from another part of the country, and actually happened to be from the state of North Carolina; a visitor to Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Metro PoliceDepartment were called to the scene of the motorcycle and car accident on Monday night. The 36 year old man from North Carolina, hailing from the town of Mount Airy, and was riding a 2006 motorcycle, a Harley Davidson to be exact, when he collided with a car. The car, a 2017 Honda Civic, was being driven to a 29- year old male who was local to the Las Vegas region.  The motorcyclist in the accident lost his life in the crash, and was pronounced dead by officials from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department at the scene of the wreck.
