One person died in a crash on Interstate 15 north of Las Vegas on Monday.
In a statement, the Nevada Highway Patrol said a commercial dump truck hauling gravel overturned at 2 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 15 at mile marker 60, about 6 miles north of Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The agency said “for unknown reasons, the vehicle failed to maintain its travel lane and overturned, blocking multiple travel lanes.”
The driver, a male adult, “was not restrained and was partially ejected.” He was pronounced dead at the scene.
