At around 5:30 p.m., a GSX-R motorcycle headed west on Lake Mead Parkway at a high rate of speed toward Boulder Highway. The rider ran the red light and crashed into a silver Nissan SUV, according to the Henderson Police Department.

The Clark County coroner’s office Thursday identified Daniel Youngblood as the motorcycle rider. Youngblood died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

The occupants of the Nissan were hospitalized with injuries that were not life threatening, police said.
