A man driving a Chevy Silverado pickup rear-ended a water truck about 5:40 a.m. near Fort Apache and Blue Diamond roads. The man was airlifted to the University Medical Center’s trauma unit with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries, according to Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Jason Buratczuk.

Northbound lanes of Fort Apache were closed near Blue Diamond while the Highway Patrol investigated the crash.
