My dad was HIT AND RUN rear ended by a semi on I-15 N mile marker 86 South of mesquite NV.
We are seeking any information regarding this incident. 4/14/23 around 0225 (2:25am) he was in a red ‘71 VW Bus traveling north on I-15 N (mile marker 86 NB near mesquite NV). There were two bikes and a rocket box on the roof. The van has bright taillights.
A semi hit him going about 80, the bikes and rocket box came off, he was able to control the vehicle to the shoulder.
A police report was filed for missing property and highway patrol noticed. I will update if this gets traction.

If a semi hit a micro bus doing 80, your dad would be dead.
Snailexpress, Aamcotrans, Deadhead-er and 5 others Thank this. -
We need a lot more information. How do you know how fast the semi was going? If the van was controllable and drive-able from the impact point to the side of the road how bad were the damages to the van?Deadhead-er and Siinman Thank this. -
Semi was probably doing the speed limit 70-80. Van was doing 50. The damage is fairly bad, but it still runs. It seems like the semi hit/accelerated the van and didn’t stay hard on the gas so he was able to pull out of the way.REO6205 Thanks this.

If the bus was stopped or if he got t-boned I would agree. The pictures don’t really lie. I’ll post them when I get off work.

Without the truck's company name or license plate you are most likely SOL.

I agree. Sorry to waste your time.

Have a lot of questions about this post. Things seem less than plausible.
Deadhead-er Thanks this. -
It's a needle in a haystack, but you can ask the manager at the Flying J in Mesquite to check the security cameras between 0230-0330. The truck driver might have stopped there to check the damage on his rig or hide out until morning.
tscottme and tippachippa Thank this. -
I think your father was most likely hit by Jewish lightning.
