Motorcyclist killed in single-vehicle crash in Henderson

A motorcyclist was killed Wednesday night after being ejected from the vehicle in Henderson.

The crash occurred just before 6:45 p.m. near Emden Drive and Sunset View Avenue, the Henderson Police Department said in a release.

Police say a burgundy 2021 Harley-Davidson was on Mariposa approaching Emden when, for unknown reasons, the motorcycle left the roadway.

The rider was ejected and was pronounced deceased on scene. Speed and impairment are considered factors, police said.

The intersection was closed to through traffic for approximately 4 hours while the investigation was conducted.
