Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – A wrong way driver on I-15 south of Las Vegas caused a wreck that killed 4 people, including the wrong-way driver, on Monday night.
The crash happened around 6pm. Nevada State Police says that a red Cadillac was heading north in the southbound lanes of I-15 near Jean when it slammed head-on into a Toyota pickup truck. The three people inside the truck were killed, as well as the driver of the Cadillac.
Though the investigation is ongoing, investigators say that impairment may have been a factor in the crash.
Four other vehicles were involved in the wreck, with two other people needing to be taken to the hospital with what were said to be non-life threatening injuries.
