Elko, NV – A rollover crash involving a commercial truck hauling cabbage shut down both eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in Elko on Monday, forcing traffic onto local roads.
According to Nevada State Police, troopers are investigating the crash that occurred near Exit 301, the SR225/Downtown Elko offramp. Eastbound traffic is being rerouted off the interstate, but drivers are able to rejoin I-80 using the nearby onramp.
Authorities said the crash involved a commercial vehicle carrying a load of cabbage, though further details about injuries or the condition of the driver have not yet been released. Crews remain at the scene working to clear the roadway.
The closure is causing delays for eastbound travelers, with law enforcement urging drivers to slow down and move over for first responders, tow truck operators, and Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) workers in the area.
Drivers in Elko are advised to allow extra travel time and to exercise caution while navigating detours. Officials did not provide an immediate estimate on when the interstate would fully reopen.
