A Clark County Fire Department crew freed a driver after a Tuesday morning rollover on Interstate 15, near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

The crash was reported shortly after 9 a.m. A red Nissan traveling south on I-15 rolled over into the median, NHP trooper Chelsea Webster said. The driver was conscious, Webster said.

The man appeared to have only suffered minor injuries, NHP said. It was not clear if he was taken to a hospital late Tuesday morning.
