LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - An overturned semi-truck caused “significant delays” Monday morning after an alleged reckless driver.
Nevada Department of Transportation said in a tweet that the overturned semi-truck is causing delays on northbound I-15 at Lake Mead.
According to Nevada State Police, the crash happened around 10:03 a.m. State Police said a white Hyundai was “traveling in a reckless manner” and emergency braked in one of the travel lanes with no emergency in front of them. This caused the semi-truck to hit the Hyundai and overturn, sending the Hyundai to the left travel lane, where it hit a Tesla.
Police said they don’t suspect impairment.
NDOT advises using an alternate route while the incident remains under investigation.
