A 43-year-old motorcyclist died following a crash with an SUV on Oct. 10 near Barney Street and Bell Vista Avenue in Nye County, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred around 8:57 a.m. when the driver of a 2013 Honda Pilot attempted to pass a 2023 Honda Navi at high speed. As the motorcyclist, identified as Timothy Michael Dorn, steered left to turn onto Bell Vista Avenue, the SUV struck the motorcycle's left side, causing it to overturn and ejecting Dorn.
The SUV driver stopped on Barney Street and fled the scene on foot. Dorn was flown by Mercy Air Ambulance to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead the following morning.
The Nye County Sheriff's Office later apprehended the SUV driver, who was arrested and charged. The investigation remains ongoing.
