According to the reports, the motorcyclist was hit by the van pulling out of business on southbound Rainbow Blvd, south of Desert Inn Rd. The rider ejected from the motorcycle, landed in northbound lanes, then hit by another van.

Medical responders arrived at the scene shortly after and transported the rider to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Motorcyclists rarely escape injury when an accident occurs. It is important to never underestimate the bike’s speed when you’re riding a motorcycle. Additionally, strictly follow traffic laws and the conditions of the road. For other drivers, do not tailgate a motorcyclist and maintain a safe following distance. Give motorcyclists a full traffic lane when you pass, as they too have equal rights on the road. By taking precautions, you can avoid collisions.
