An accident near Yates Well Road some five miles into California is slowing Interstate 15 traffic on the first day of 2024.
The crash was about 1.5 miles west of Yates Well Road and was slowing traffic to about 5-10 mph for about a 14-mile stretch on southbound I-15 as of 6:45 p.m. Monday.
By 8:50 p.m., the backup had been reduced to about 4 miles.
Traffic was flowing 75 to 80 mph into Primm, typically the slow area for the thousands of California-bound visitors after they leave Las Vegas on a holiday weekend.
