Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – Two Nevada State Police troopers were struck and killed early Thursday, and that driver is still being sought.

It happened around 3:30am on the D street exit from 15 North, where the officers were helping a stalled driver. Right now there’s no description of the suspect's vehicle.

Investigators shut down a stretch of 15 North from Charleston to Washington, as well as the ramps from 95 to 15 North and D Street between Washington and Bonanza to conduct their investigation.

There’s no estimate for when those roads will be back open.
