    A crash between two tractor-trailers has led to a fuel spill on northbound I-15 northeast of Las Vegas, shutting down the freeway.

    Nevada Highway Patrol says the crash was reported at 6:45 a.m. at exit 93 in Moapa Valley.

    There's a large fuel leak, and the interstate is temporarily closed for cleanup, according to NHP.

    Traffic is being diverted through the Moapa Valley Boulevard ramps during the closure.

    The Moapa Valley tribe isn’t going to be happy about that-right in the middle of their territory (Indian reservation). I was just there 2 days ago,always plenty of parking there-even when it’s packed!

    Next time I go there I’ll have to check. On part of the lot they do have signs prohibiting shooting them off(kid friendly zone).

    Not too far from where a truck wrecked in the Virgin River Gorge.

    About 45 miles south of that wreck. That guardrail in the Gorge got hit 2 more times after the initial hit. As soon as they fixed it, boom, got hit again twice.

    They must if there are signs prohibiting such.
