On Sunday at around 3.45 a.m. a man died in a motorcycle crash in North Las Vegas.

According to North Las Vegas Police,  officers received reports of a man down and were dispatched to Donovan Way near East Craig Road.  When they arrived, they found 41-year-old North Las Vegas resident Johnston Graves Overbey, aged 41, lying unresponsive near the roadway. He was subsequently pronounced dead on the scene by medical personnel, the cause being blunt force injuries

The police went on to say, that following an investigation, it appears that Overbey had been riding a 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound on Donovan when he lost control, possibly while speeding. They say he was then thrown from the vehicle as it left the roadway.

No other vehicles were involved and it was the 8th traffic fatality in North Las Vegas in 2014.

Reno was the site of a grizzly series of motorcycle accidents Saturday morning which left two people dead and several injured.

According to Nevada State Trooper Dave Gibso, two motorcycles, each carrying a passenger, were headed toward Virginia City while another was headed in the opposite direction toward Reno, in the area of Geiger Grade. One of the Virginia City bound motorcycles reportedly crossed the centerline which set off a chain reaction which saw all motorcycles collide with each other.

The collisions resulted in the deaths of the two operators of the bikes headed toward Virginia City. The passengers of those bikes, and the operator of the motorcycle headed to a Reno, were all injured.

According to published reports all riders were wearing helmets at the time of the accident. The riders in the direction of Virginia City are reported to have been two male operators and two female passengers, while the rider in the direction of Reno is reported to have been a male operator.

We would like to encourage all Reno area motorcycle operators and passengers to always wear their helmets and obey all traffic safety regulations while on the road.

Motorcycle accidents can be especially deadly due to the unprotected nature of the motorcycle. If you have been seriously injted in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.
