Officers also said the crash happened in the westbound lanes of Lake Mead just before 1:45 p.m.
LVMPD Lt. Bret Ficklin informed the media that this is the time of year when more motorcycles are on the roads, and it's the responsibility of both motorcyclists and drivers to be aware and look out for each other.
"Don't be distracted. Be off your phone. Be in the moment," Ficklin said. "Be where you're supposed to be because we have way too many incidents right now. We're having people getting seriously injured or killed on the roadways, and we're doing everything we can to keep that from happening."
