Authorities identified 23-year-old Joseph Anthony Ketterer as the man who lost his life following a two-vehicle collision on Tuesday morning in Las Vegas.
As per the initial information, the fatal motorcycle crash took place at about 6 a.m. on the southern 215 Beltway. The early reports showed that a blue Jeep was heading westbound in the middle travel lane when a black sports bike approached at a high rate of speed.
The sports bike rear-ended the Jeep, causing the Jeep to then hit the center median and was then sent across all the travel lanes. Due to the impact, the man was thrown from the motorcycle. On arrival, emergency crews rushed the rider to Sunrise hospital where he was later declared dead.
Officials rerouted the vehicles off the freeway, but motorists were allowed back on at the following exit. The driver of the Jeep remained unharmed in the accident and did not display signs of impairment. According to the investigators, high speed contributed to the crash.
The westbound lanes of the 215 at Valle Verde were fully shut down for about three hours as crews worked at the scene. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
