Discovery of dead body disrupts traffic on 15 South

Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – It was a chaotic early Tuesday morning commute for drivers on 15 South after a dead body was discovered in the travel lanes.

The discovery of the body on 15 South between Sahara and Spring Mountain was first called in around 1am, and forced Nevada State Police to block a couple of left lanes for their investigation.

How the victim ended up where they were isn’t know and investigators have a lot of pieces to put together as their investigation ramps up.

Lanes re-opened just after 6am.

Anyone with additional information is being asked to call Metro Police or Nevada State Police. You can remain anonymous by using Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 (wwwcrimestopperofnv.com).
