The Nevada Highway Patrol was investigating an injury crash involving a flipped pickup in southwest Las Vegas early Tuesday.

The Highway Patrol and Las Vegas police were at the scene of the two-vehicle crash at Durango Drive and Interstate 215 about 5:15 a.m.

A white pickup was observed upside down in the middle of Durango next to a vehicle with front-end damage. The cab of the upside down truck was crushed, but there was no word from authorities on the condition of the driver or the cause of the crash.

Traffic was restricted to one lane on Durango as authorities investigated.
