A man jumped to his death from the U.S. Highway 95 portion of the Spaghetti Bowl Tuesday afternoon, Nevada Highway Patrol said.
Troopers found his vehicle on scene about 1:25 p.m., but the man jumped before troopers got there, NHP trooper Chelsea Stuenkel said.
He leaped from the U.S. 95 northbound flyover ramp to northbound I-15, she said.
The police investigation and a separate semi-truck accident resulted in the closure of the U.S. 95 southbound ramp to I-15 South and impeded traffic for an hour.
