"Last year we were only at 20 and so far this year we're sitting at 32 with nine of them falling within Nevada Highway Patrol's jurisdiction," said Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson. Hixson says it's critical that motorcyclists are aware of drivers and make themselves seen. "The motorcyclists, they need to understand when they're on the roadways, they have to expect the unexpectedoperate your vehicle as though no one else knows that you're there," Hixson said. On Thursday, two motorcycle riders died on Valley streets in separate incidents. Near Las Vegas Boulevard and Lamb Boulevard, 24-year-old Jesus Vizcarra was struck by a car that ran a red light.
