A 20-year-old motorcyclist suffered serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle at around 11 at night. The driver who hit the motorcycle is suspected of drunk driving.
The motorcyclist was turning his bike from the private driveway of an athletic club when he was hit by a car going well over the speed limit, driven by a 29-year-old male. The driver of the car lost control and left the road after hitting the motorcycle. Both he and his passenger got out of the car and fled the scene of the accident.
Responders took the motorcyclist to University Medical Trauma Center, where he was listed in serious condition.
Los Vegas police quickly located the driver of the car and arrested him for driving under the influence and for leaving the scene of an accident. He was then held at the Clark County Detention Center.
