Northbound I-15 lanes reopen after delays caused by overturned semi
Drivers faced long delays along northbound Interstate 15 after a semitrailer overturned Thursday afternoon, but closed freeway lanes have now reopened, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
A semitrailer heading north on I-15 landed on a vehicle and rolled over, the Highway Patrol said. The truck was not hauling a trailer at the time of the crash.
At about 2:30 p.m., all northbound lanes on the freeway were closed at Tropicana Avenue, the Regional Transportation Commission said. The crash was cleared just before 7 p.m.
The crash may involved six vehicles, the Highway Patrol posted to Twitter.
