LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A pedestrian is dead after being struck by a car on I-15 on Friday morning, according to Nevada State Police.
An initial report indicated that police responded to a collision involving a possible pedestrian that had been struck around 5:00 a.m. on I-15, south of Flamingo.
Arriving officers determined that a male adult was crossing from westbound to eastbound on the southbound side and was stuck by a semi-truck along with a passenger car. Police also say that a civilian stopped to render aid until medical personnel arrived, but the male adult succumbed to his injuries and was ultimately pronounced deceased.
All southbound lanes on I-15 at Tropicana were closed while the collision was under investigation, and caused massive delays along the interstate. Police say the closure would remain in place for several hours, however, as of 10 a.m., all lanes have been reopened.
