....Police reported that at 7:22 p.m. Monday, Corrales was traveling northbound on two-lane Fort Apache Road north of Mesa Vista Avenue “at a high rate of speed,” according to a witness.

Corrales attempted to pass a northbound 1997 Honda Accord when he “saw [a] southbound Mercedes and got back into the northbound lane,” Det. William Redfairn wrote in a news release.

Corrales, realizing he was riding too fast and too close to the Honda, slammed on his brakes, police said.

“There was a huge skid mark there,” said Leonard, who visited the crash scene Monday night.

Corrales lost control of the motorcycle, striking the rear of the Honda and sending him off the motorcycle, which skidded into the oncoming Mercedes.

Corrales, 29, was pronounced dead at the scene after his newly purchased 2007 Suzuki 1000 motorcycle, reportedly traveling in excess of 100 mph, was involved in a three-vehicle collision....

Corrales’ estranged wife Michelle, who is 7 months pregnant, identified the body 3 1/2 hours after the crash. Corrales was wearing a helmet and, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokesman said, there was no evidence that drugs or alcohol were involved.
