One man was killed early Sunday after a “high-speed” crash in North Las Vegas.

The collision involving a semitruck and an SUV was reported to North Las Vegas police at 1:45 a.m. near the intersection of North Commerce Street and West Cheyenne Avenue. The 29-year-old man died at the scene, police said.
