LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A crash near the intersection of I-11 and Boulder Highway has left one person dead, according to state authorities.
It happened around 11:49 a.m., according to Nevada State Police, and involved a semi-tractor/trailer that rolled over onto its left side.
A silver 1998 Peterbilt 379 tractor with a dump trailer in tow was traveling south on Boulder Highway to the I-11 southbound on-ramp, according to NSP.
The driver failed to maintain his travel lane and traveled left, hitting both a metal guardrail and concrete barrier wall with the tractor's front, authorities said. The vehicle then traveled down a small embankment and overturned onto its left side, ejecting the unrestrained driver.
The driver, 44-year-old Eric Andrew Francis of Henderson, was taken to a local area hospital with critical injuries, where he was later pronounced dead.
