Man killed in crash on I-15
A motorist from Wisconsin was killed, possibly the result of a medical episode, when he lost control on his vehicle on Interstate 15 north of Las Vegas on Wednesday afternoon.
A 2022 Dodge Charger left the roadway and struck a center median cable barrier on I-15 northbound near mile marker 64, between Apex and U.S. 93, around 4:45 p.m., Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Jason Buratczuk said in an email.
The 65-year-old man was taken to University Medical Center where he died. A woman passenger was not injured.
According to witnesses, the driver may have suffered a medical episode that contributed to the crash.
I-15 traffic was restricted to one lane as officers investigated.
The Clark County coroner’s office will release the identity and cause and manner of death of the driver after relatives have been notified.
