The Nevada Highway Patrol was responding to the crash in the eastbound Lake Mead Boulevard off-ramp from U.S. Highway 95 just after 6 a.m. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada said the right lane of Lake Mead was blocked as a result.

Some modest traffic delays were expected in the area. There was no immediate indication of anyone being injured in the crash.
