LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A 22-year-old man died after being hit while riding a bicycle in the northwest valley.
It happened on Monday shortly before 9 p.m. near Cheyenne Avenue and Hualapai Way.

Police say the bicyclist was riding through a shopping center’s parking lot located on the 10100 block of Cheyenne Avenue and pulled onto Cheyenne. The driver of a 2016 Ford Explorer heading west on Cheyenne Avenue in the far right lane hit the bicyclist, police say.
The man was taken to the hospital in serious condition before being pronounced dead.
The driver of the Ford stayed at the scene and did not appear to be impaired, according to police.
