Boulder City Police have identified the victim in a fatal e-scooter and vehicle collision that occurred Tuesday evening. The Nevada Highway Patrol confirmed the rider as Wyatt Joseph Holiday, 22, of Las Vegas. According to investigators, the crash happened around 5:25 p.m. on Buchanan Boulevard. Holiday was riding a Superfun M1-Max 500W e-scooter southbound on the sidewalk along the northbound side of Buchanan when a 2016 red Chrysler 200 sedan attempted to make a right turn onto the same road.
As the Chrysler turned, it struck the e-scooter with its right front end, according to troopers. The impact threw Holiday from the scooter, and emergency responders were called immediately. Despite life-saving efforts, Holiday was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said the driver of the Chrysler remained on-site and cooperated with investigators. No arrests or citations have been announced as of Wednesday, and the incident remains under investigation by the Nevada Highway Patrol’s Multidisciplinary Investigation and Reconstruction Team (MIRT).
Officials are working to determine the precise factors that led to the collision, including the vehicle’s speed, lighting conditions, and the e-scooter’s path of travel. The Highway Patrol reminded both drivers and personal mobility riders to exercise caution at intersections and to remain alert for one another, particularly during evening hours. Holiday’s family has been notified. Further details, including potential contributing factors or toxicology results, will be released as the investigation continues.
