Off-ramp accident in Mesquite kills driver

Fatal accident

One person is dead after a traffic accident around 11:35 p.m. Tuesday on an Interstate 15 off-ramp at Mesquite, the Nevada Highway Patrol reported.

Trooper Jeremie Elliott said a Chevy Blazer rear-ended a tractor-trailer on the northbound off-ramp of the I-15 at Sandhill Boulevard. The accident killed the Blazer driver, Elliott said.

Elliott said investigators determined the Blazer driver was at fault.

The off-ramp was closed shortly after the accident but has since been reopened.
