Man dies after crashing into bus on I-15
A man died after he crashed a car into the back of a bus that was stopped on an Interstate 15 shoulder early Saturday morning, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
First responders were called overnight to southbound I-15 just south of Tropicana Avenue where Las Vegan Jimmy Kato, 75, had crashed a car into a 15-passenger bus that was pulled over on the side of the road, NHP spokesman trooper Loy Hixson said.
Kato, who was identified by the coroner’s office, was later pronounced dead at University Medical Center, Hixson said.
There were no other injuries, Hixson said, and it wasn’t immediately clear why the bus driver pulled over.
