NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A motorcyclist is dead after a crash on Las Vegas Boulevard and Bruce Street on Thursday night.

According to North Las Vegas police, the crash happened just before midnight.

Investigators determined a Ford Escort was traveling southbound on Las Vegas Boulevard and turned into the path of a Honda motorcycle that was traveling northbound.

The motorcyclist was ejected during the collision. The 19-year-old man was taken to University Medical Center where he later died.

The driver of the Eescort was uninjured.
