Hitting someone is terrible, but it’s even worse to flee the scene of the accident and that’s exactly what happened in this tragic situation. The driver of the SUV bolted after hitting the bike rider but was apprehended a few blocks away from the scene.

There are no state agencies which regulate ATVs, nor are there laws specifically designed to prevent ATV accidents. The only laws in Nevada pertaining to ATVs govern where they can be ridden (in designated areas, not on paved highways, etc.). Not only does this endanger ATV drivers and passengers, but it also increases the chances of injuries to pedestrians, bystanders, and even other motorists.

It is important to remember that even if another driver claims not to have seen you or that your speed was deceptive, you are still not at fault in the accident. Nevada law requires that all vehicles yield the right of way to oncoming traffic when turning left at a place where no lights, stop signs, or other traffic signals are involved.

I want to send my heartfelt condolences to the family of the motor bike rider and I hope the passenger is able to pull through, though their life may never be the same. This was a terrible accident and illustrates the risks associated with riding a motorcycle.

I understand the temptation to take your motor bike out on Interstate 15 (I-15), I-215, or maybe even the Vegas strip for a ride without a helmet; the wind whipping through your hair and the sun shining on your face, but this is extremely dangerous. As mentioned earlier in the post, you’re nine times more likely to get hurt on a motorcycle in an accident. Don’t take that risk.
