 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On May 21st, 2026, at approximately 10:37 a.m., a life-threatening collision occurred at the intersection of East Desert Inn Road and South Cambridge Street. Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated that a 2025 Hyundai Elantra was traveling westbound on Desert Inn Road and completing a left turn on a flashing yellow arrow turn signal onto southbound Cambridge Street. A 2022 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle was traveling eastbound on Desert Inn Road in the rightmost of three travel lanes approaching the intersection with Cambridge Street. A 2017 Chevrolet Equinox was northbound on Cambridge Street, stopped for a solid red traffic signal, and set up for a right turn at the intersection with Desert Inn Road.

A collision occurred when the Hyundai failed to yield the right of way and crossed the Kawasaki’s path of travel. The rider was ejected from the motorcycle and collided with the left front of the Chevrolet. Emergency Medical Personnel immediately responded to the collision scene and transported the rider to Sunrise Hospital, where his injuries were determined to be life-threatening.
