Part of southbound Interstate 15 reopened in Las Vegas after man struck, killed

Southbound Interstate 15 was closed between Craig Road and Cheyenne Avenue after a man was struck and killed on the freeway Sunday night.

The man was walking on the freeway about 6:22 p.m. Sunday when a van struck him, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Chelsea Stuenkel said. He was pronounced dead.

The highway patrol was diverting traffic in the area, but the freeway has since re-opened.

The Clark County coroner’s office will release the man’s identity when his next of kin has been notified.
