Crash in central Las Vegas hampers morning commute

Traffic on Pecos Road was backed up Wednesday morning in the central valley while police investigated a crash.

The crash was reported just before 6:30 a.m. on Pecos between Bonanza Road and Washington Avenue, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Metro Lt. David Gordon said no one was injured but a driver was detained after he showed signs of impairment.

At 7 a.m., police blocked two right lanes on southbound Pecos where two damaged vehicles sat in the road. A third damaged vehicle blocked one of the right lanes on northbound Pecos.

Police also briefly blocked two lanes of Pecos just north of Washington while a man was detained on an unrelated call.

Gordon said the road would be open by 9 a.m.
