A man riding a motorcycle was killed in a crash Wednesday, prompting the Nevada Highway Patrol to shut down all four ramps at Spring Mountain Road and Interstate 15 for hours.

At 12:52 p.m., state troopers responded to the single motorcycle crash on the Spring Mountain eastbound exit ramp on I-15 and the driver was confirmed dead at the scene, Nevada State Police Trooper Shawn Haggstrom said.

The eastbound, westbound, northbound and southbound ramps at Spring Mountain and the highway were shut down for five to six hours, affecting rush hour traffic in the area, Haggstrom said.
