1 killed in Sunday night motorcycle crash on I-15 at Blue Diamond in Las Vegas

One person is dead after a motorcycle crash on northbound Interstate 15 near the Blue Diamond Road exit.

The crash happened just after 9 p.m. Sunday and appears to involve only the motorcycle, according to Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chelsea Stuenkel.

There were two riders on the motorcycle. A woman died at the scene, and a man was taken to University Medical Center with unknown injuries, Stuenkel said.

I-15 northbound lanes were shut down at Blue Diamond, and traffic was being diverted onto a nearby access road. Stuenkel said the freeway reopened about 2 a.m. Monday.
