I-15 shut down north of this point
All northbound Interstate 15 lanes have reopened as of 3 p.m. after being shut down for about two hours because of three separate collisions, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Sgt. Kevin Honea, spokesman for the highway patrol, said a motorcyclist who crashed on the interstate at Lake Mead Boulevard will be taken to a hospital for treatment. The motorcyclist crashed in the construction zone on I-15.
A second collision at Martin Luther King Boulevard involved a hit and run incident, but it is off to the side of the freeway, Honea said.
The third crash involved five cars on the northbound I-15 at East Charleston Boulevard, Honea said.
It is not known if the second and third collisions involved injuries, Honea said.
