LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A fatal crash is blocking lanes on a Spring Valley roadway Friday morning.
According to Nevada State Police, all lanes are blocked on Spring Mountain Road westbound at I-15.
Nevada State Police told Channel 13 the crash happened around 8:33 a.m. and involved a Chevrolet work truck and a pedestrian.
The white 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pickup was traveling westbound on the I-15 northbound to go westbound Spring Mountain Road off-ramp.
The driver of the Chevrolet was traveling too fast for conditions and attempted to avoid a collision with another vehicle by steering to the right and entering the sidewalk north of the off-ramp, authorities said.
The driver of the Chevrolet hit a pedestrian, who was lying under a pile of debris on the north side of the Spring Mountain off-ramp sidewalk.
The pedestrian was transported to a local hospital, where that person was later pronounced dead.
Road closures are expected to continue for hours, so please use an alternate route when traveling in the area.
