LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A fiery crash involving two semi-trucks early Tuesday morning has completely closed U.S. 95 near Indian Springs.
The crash was reported just after midnight at mile marker 13 in Nye County and involved a truck hauling wood and another truck carrying lithium batteries which ignited the fire, Nevada State Police said.
The closure extends from Indian Springs to State Route 160. Southbound traffic is being diverted off U.S. 95 to Pahrump and northbound traffic is being turned around at Indian Springs. Drivers are recommended to find alternate routes. Drivers who want to travel north can take State Route 160 through Pahrump to get to U.S. 95.
It is not known how long the road closure will be in effect.
