The Clark County coroner’s office on Sunday identified a man who was killed during a two-vehicle rollover wreck on U.S Highway 95 Friday morning.

Keaton Niday, a 21-year-old Las Vegas resident, was in an SUV that the Nevada Highway Patrol said was traveling “at a high rate of speed” on southbound 95.

The SUV entered the travel lane of a truck, causing a crash that made both vehicle roll, NHP said.

Niday was ejected and died on the freeway, NHP said. Two people in the truck suffered minor injuries.
