Lyon County, Nevada – Two crashes blocked part of northbound USA Parkway early Thursday, restricting traffic near Mile Marker 7.
According to Nevada State Police, the incidents were reported around 4 a.m. on State Route 439 (USA Parkway) in Lyon County. Both crashes involved property damage, and no injuries were immediately reported.
Authorities said one of the crashes involved a semi-truck that was blocking the number two travel lane, identified as the right lane of northbound traffic. As of the early morning update, the number one northbound lane — the left lane — remained open to vehicles.
Nevada Highway Patrol troopers were working to clear the scene and remove the semi-truck from the roadway. Officials stated they hope to have the roadway fully reopened by approximately 7:30 a.m., though clearance times can change depending on recovery operations.
Drivers traveling through the area were urged to use caution and remain alert for first responders and emergency vehicles. Traffic delays were possible during the early commute hours as crews worked along the shoulder and travel lanes.
USA Parkway is a key connector for industrial traffic and commuter routes between Interstate 80 and U.S. 50, and even single-lane restrictions can slow morning travel. Students and young workers commuting to regional industrial centers may experience minor delays.
Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds, follow posted instructions, and prepare for possible congestion until the scene is fully cleared.
