Update, 8:05 p.m.: Police say east valley victim was a homeowner trying to stop a car theft
Las Vegas police released new details Tuesday evening about the deadly hit-and-run on Glenn Davis Drive near Nellis Boulevard and Harmon Avenue. According to Lt. Casey Clarkson, a car was left running in a driveway shortly after 11:30 a.m. when someone got in and drove it onto the street. The homeowner, described as a man in his late 40s or early 50s, stood in the road to try to stop the car and was struck. The driver kept going. Neighbors called 911, and the man died at the scene. Police said they have found the car, but the driver has not been located and no description has been released. The victim has not been publicly identified.
For locals: Police and insurers regularly warn against leaving a car running and unattended, even in your own driveway on a cool morning. And if someone takes your car, do not try to block it with your body. Get to safety, note the direction it went, and call 911. Anyone with information can call the LVMPD Homicide Section at 702-828-3521, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 702-385-5555 or crimestoppersofnv.com.

Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. Scanner Reports rounds up the day’s confirmed police, fire and traffic incidents in Southern Nevada. We update this post as new incidents are confirmed.
Tuesday morning: Motorcyclist dies at Blue Diamond Road and Jones Boulevard
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were called around 6:58 a.m. Tuesday to a crash at Blue Diamond Road and Jones Boulevard in the southwest valley. The motorcycle rider was pronounced dead at the scene. News 3 reported that police said the crash involved another vehicle. All lanes through the intersection were blocked during the morning commute while officers investigated, FOX5 reported.
Police have not said what caused the crash, which direction the vehicles were traveling, or whether the other driver stayed at the scene. They have not released the rider’s name. The Clark County coroner usually does that after family members are told. The investigation is ongoing.
Monday afternoon: Rider killed near Blue Diamond and Kulka roads
Less than a day earlier, just after 1:30 p.m. Monday, a motorcycle and another vehicle collided on Blue Diamond Road near Kulka Road, according to Metro police. The rider was pronounced dead. The RTC closed Blue Diamond Road between State Route 159 and Orduno Street during the investigation, Channel 13 reported. Police have not released more details about that crash either.
What it means for locals and visitors
- Blue Diamond Road (State Route 160) is a major commuter route. It carries heavy traffic between the southwest valley, Pahrump and the Red Rock area, at highway speeds. After a fatal crash, closures can last several hours. Check the RTC’s traffic map or NDOT’s 511 service (call 511 or visit nvroads.com) before you head out, and plan to use Warm Springs Road, Windmill Lane or the 215 if Blue Diamond is shut.
- Drivers: Motorcycles are small and hard to judge at a distance. Before you turn left across traffic or change lanes, look twice for riders, especially at dawn and dusk when the low sun causes glare on east-west roads like Blue Diamond.
- Riders: Nevada requires a helmet on every motorcycle ride. High-visibility gear and a headlight that stays on make you easier to see in morning traffic.
- Extra enforcement through Nov. 30: Nevada’s “Joining Forces” traffic safety campaign started Nov. 9 and runs through the Thanksgiving travel period. It is funded by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety. North Las Vegas police said this week that their officers will focus on seat belts and child car seats. Expect more officers on the road throughout the valley.
