The Nevada Highway Patrol is investigating a crash on Interstate 15 that left a motorcyclist dead on Monday.

Just after 11 a.m., a motorcyclist was traveling south on the I-15 and lost control for unknown reasons, trooper Ashlee Wellman said. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

Motorists can expect delays and are advised to avoid the area.

I-15 south of Las Vegas has been backed up all day as people head back toward California to close out Memorial Day weekend.
