Three people were killed Saturday in a crash involving several motorcycles and an SUV on U.S. 95 near Goldfield, police said.

A spokesperson with the Nevada Highway Patrol said in a text message that the crash happened at mile marker 18 of U.S. 95.

“There are three confirmed deceased at scene,” the spokesperson said, adding it wasn’t yet known if those killed were all motorcyclists.
