LAS VEGAS, NV — Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are investigating a traffic collision that occurred late Tuesday morning, April 7, involving a bicyclist and a passenger vehicle in the city’s northwest valley.

The accident was reported just after 11:00 AM near the intersection of Westcliff Drive and Underhill Court, a busy residential cul-de-sac. According to LVMPD, the bicyclist was struck by a vehicle and subsequently transported to a local hospital. Medical personnel confirmed the injuries were non-life-threatening.

Driver Cooperating with Investigation

The driver of the vehicle involved remained at the scene and is fully cooperating with investigators. Preliminary reports indicate no immediate signs of impairment, though the specific cause of the crash remains under review by Metro’s traffic bureau.

The collision occurred in a high-traffic area adjacent to several local businesses, including a dentist’s office, a convenience store, and a nearby early childhood education center.
