Las Vegas, NV (August 12, 2020) – A fatal traffic crash took the life of one person this past Monday afternoon on an interstate in Las Vegas.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:00 p.m. on the afternoon of August 10 on Interstate 15 near the US-93 split in the southbound lanes. Police reports reveal that the wreck occurred between two large trucks on the interstate. A white Isuzu tow-truck towing a silver SUV was headed south on I-15 nearing a tan National Guard Army vehicle. For reasons still being investigated, the Isuzu was unable to reduce speed and crashed into the back of the Army vehicle.
The Isuzu’s driver was pronounced deceased at the scene of the wreck. He has been identified as Thomas Burger, 34.
The reason the crash took place is currently being investigated by local law enforcement officials.
The area of the roadway where the collision took place was blocked off for a period of time after the crash, though it has since been reopened.
No further information is available at this time.
Police continue their investigation into the circumstances of the wreck.
