The accident occurred in the southbound U.S. Highway 95 off-ramp merging onto southbound Interstate 15. Traffic was down to one lane until about 8:30 a.m.

One person was transported to the hospital, but the accident did not appear to be serious, said NHP’s Trooper Loy Hixson.

A fatal accident earlier Friday morning near the Spaghetti Bowl has been cleared.
