A 71-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle crash about 62 miles northeast of Las Vegas on Saturday morning, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

The crash, which involved only a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, happened on eastbound state Route 168 just west of mile marker 13 on Saturday just before 8:35 a.m., according to a Highway Patrol press release.

State Route 168, also known as Moapa Road, connects U.S. Highway 93 to Interstate 15.

Highway Patrol said Michael Frank Nootens, of Las Vegas, was the victim in the crash.

Nootens struck a metal sign and was ejected from the motorcycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the press release.
