A fatal crash involving a private bus and an SUV early Sunday morning shut down a ramp in the northwest valley.

Nevada Highway Patrol said an SUV struck a small, private passenger bus from behind on the Interstate 11 northbound ramp connecting to westbound 215 Beltway around 1:37 a.m.

The driver of the white 2008 Gillig Transit passenger bus was arrested for being in possession of a stolen vehicle as well as suspicion of DUI.

Edy Octavio Hernandez-Roldan, 48, died at the scene, the Highway Patrol said.

This is the sixth fatal crash in NHP’s Southern jurisdiction for 2025.
