LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Nevada State Police said a fatal crash occurred on the U.S. 95 at Elkhorn Road in the early morning Sunday on the northbound off ramp.
Around 3:02 a.m., police said a driver of a Honda Passenger failed to maintain its marked travel lane. Because of this, the driver hit an impact attenuator.
"The vehicle was driven by a male adult who unfortunately succumbed to his injuries sustained in the crash," police said. The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Police have yet to provide a reason as to why the driver crashed.
While investigating, police had the area closed.
According to Nevada Barricade & Sign Co., an impact attenuator is "cushioning equipment" that offers an additional level of safety for high-risk, low-visibility projects.
