LAS VEGAS (AP) — A key freeway heading into downtown Las Vegas was closed for several hours after a crash involving two semitrailer trucks left one driver injured. Las Vegas firefighters said the driver was extricated from the wreckage and hospitalized after the crash a little before 9 a.m. Tuesday on northbound U.S. 95. Traffic from Henderson to Las Vegas backed up for several miles and motorists were diverted off the freeway at Boulder Highway until about 1:30 p.m. Fire officials reported a fuel leak and photos provided by Las Vegas Fire and Rescue showed a load of decorative rocks spilled from one trailer. The closure affected the freeway heading into the busy Spaghetti Bowl interchange and Interstate 15.
