(KTNV) — State Troopers are investigating a fatal collision on northbound Interstate 15 near Carp Elgin Road (mile marker 100), about 60 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Valley.

All northbound lanes at I-15 and Carp Elgin Road are closed, but Nevada State Police (NSP) said traffic is being diverted onto the I-15/mile marker 100 exit off-ramp and will continue onto the I-15/mile marker 100 northbound on-ramp.

This means traffic will be able to continue northbound on I-15, but authorities said to expect delays and slow downs. Construction is also present in the area.

Authorities are asking people to slow down and use caution on the roadways.

Around 3:28 p.m., NSP responded to the scene on reports of multiple vehicles involved in a crash.

NSP confirmed that two juveniles died on the scene, and one person was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. Four other people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

This is a developing story.
