PAHRUMP (KTNV) — Pahrump Valley Highway is closed down on Tuesday afternoon after Nevada State Police say two pickup trucks collided, resulting in a man's death.
In a press release to Channel 13, state police say they have the intersection of Pahrump Valley Highway (state Route 160) and Rainbow Avenue shut down. Troopers are re-routing traffic through side streets in that area.
Motorists and members of the public are asked to avoid the area and use an alternate route.
Both SR-160 and Rainbow Avenue are expected to be closed "for an undetermined time, due to investigation," a Nevada State Police spokesperson wrote.
The crash was reported at 4:17 p.m., police said. One adult male was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
"Further information will be provided following the preliminary investigation," police said.
