Man died after veering off highway ‘for unknown reasons,’ report says

A man died Monday after veering off the road on U.S. Highway 95 north of Las Vegas “for unknown reasons,” the Nevada Highway Patrol said in a news release Tuesday.

The Highway Patrol said the man was driving a silver 2020 Toyota Camry sedan northbound on U.S. 95 north of Lee Canyon Road when he traveled off the road, hit a sign and struck a culvert in a desert area.

The car then went airborne, landed back on its wheels and rotated clockwise before stopping in a desert area, the Highway Patrol said.

The man was taken to a hospital and was later pronounced dead. The Highway Patrol said it does not know if he experienced a medical episode before the crash.

The crash is still under investigation by the Highway Patrol-Traffic Homicide Unit.
