A motorcyclist was killed Thursday morning in a two-vehicle crash on East Tropicana Avenue near Spencer Street, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. The collision occurred just before 9:30 a.m., prompting police to close Tropicana between Tamarus and Spencer for the investigation.
The death is the third involving a motorcyclist in the valley this week. On Monday, a 21-year-old rider on a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 1000 died after colliding with a 2024 Honda CRV near the intersection of Kulka and Blue Diamond roads, near Shaumber Road.
Less than 24 hours later, just before 7 a.m. Tuesday, another motorcyclist was killed on Blue Diamond Road near South Jones Boulevard. Police said the rider was weaving through westbound traffic at a high rate of speed before crashing into the rear of a 2023 Peterbilt 579 tractor hauling two trailers.
