Two people died late Friday night in a fiery, wrong-way crash on Interstate 11 at the edge of northwest Las Vegas, police said.
The crash happened at 11:28 p.m. at northbound I-11 at mile marker 99 (Snow Mountain interchange), the Nevada Highway Patrol said in a statement.
NHP said the crash involved two vehicles, an SUV and a sedan. The driver of the sedan was “traveling southbound in the northbound (wrong way) travel lanes prior to striking the sedan,” NHP said.
Both drivers died at the scene. The driver of SUV was not been identified (gender) because of a car fire, police said. The driver in the sedan was an adult male. A passenger in the sedan was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Road Closures: All northbound I-11 travel lanes are closed at the location of northbound I-11 at mile marker 96 (Kyle Canyon Road). I-11 will be closed for an undetermined amount of time, NHP said.
