The Nevada Highway Patrol is currently investigating a fatal traffic accident that occurred early Wednesday morning on a freeway in the northwest Las Vegas Valley. Emergency responders were called to the southbound I-215 off-ramp at Ann Road at approximately 5:55 a.m. following reports of a collision involving a commercial semi-truck and a passenger sedan. According to officials from the Highway Patrol, the driver of the sedan was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
