Troopers are investigating a deadly crash involving a pedestrian Wednesday night southeast of Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

The crash happened about 8:20 p.m. on U.S. Highway 95, about 6 miles south of the junction with U.S. Highway 93, trooper Travis Smaka said.

A pedestrian wearing dark clothing was struck by a Ford F-150 while standing on the highway. The pedestrian died at the scene.

All southbound lanes are closed near the crash site while troopers investigate. Smaka said about 11:45 p.m. troopers would be out at the scene for several more hours.
