Police say that a 24 year-old man died when the sedan he was driving slammed into a couple of poles at Lake Mead and Rampart.

Shortly after that, police say that a motorcyclist slammed into an SUV that was pulling out of a parking lot along Camino al Norte north of Lone Mountain. The female driver of the SUV wasn’t badly hurt.

Then just before 5pm, the driver of a pickup was killed on eastbound Summerlin Parkway past Durango. Investigators say the man was approaching slower traffic at a high rate of speed and rolled the truck, causing that driver to be ejected. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

All three accidents remain under investigation. The names of those who lost their lives have yet to be released.
