News summary

A head-on collision between two semi-trucks, one carrying 31,000 pounds of lithium batteries, occurred just after midnight on U.S. 95 near mile marker 13 in Nye County, Nevada, causing a significant fire that has since been extinguished. Both drivers sustained minor injuries, but the crash has led to a complete closure of U.S. 95 between Indian Springs and State Route 160, with traffic being diverted to alternate routes. Southbound traffic is being redirected to Pahrump, while northbound traffic is turned around at Indian Springs. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and there is no estimate for when the road will reopen. Nevada State Police are advising motorists to avoid the area and to seek alternative routes due to the extensive road closures. Cleanup and inspections of the crash site are ongoing.
