Jackknifed semitruck causes multicar pileup on northbound Interstate 15
A jackknifed semitruck Wednesday afternoon caused a multicar pileup on northbound Interstate 15.
Just before 2:30 p.m., a semitruck briefly jackknifed before regaining control and pulling into the right shoulder of northbound I-15, just south of the Sahara exit. A gray Toyota Corolla, white Nissan Titan pickup truck, red Nissan Xterra and a Jeep Cherokee collided into one another as a result, Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Jason Buratczuk said.
A commercial enforcement trooper with the Highway Patrol was called to the scene to inspect why the semitruck jackknifed. Three people with nonlife-threatening injuries were transported to the University Medical Center, Buratczuk said.
