It was a wrong-way driver that caused the two traffic fatalities on Interstate 11 near Boulder City just before 7 a.m. Sunday.

The vehicles collided at their right front and both driver’s were ejected, according to a news release.
The drivers, a man and a woman, were pronounced deceased at the scene.
The identities of the deceased have not yet been released by the Clark County coroner’s office following next of kin notification.
