Clark County, NV — February 2, 2026, two people were injured due to a truck accident shortly before 8:30 p.m. along Interstate Highway 15.

Details surrounding the wreck remain scarce. According to authorities, the accident occurred in the southbound lanes of I-15 in the vicinity north of Primm.

Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, a collision took place between a Dodge Ram, a Genesis SUV, and an 18-wheeler. Two people reportedly sustained injuries of unknown severity; one was flown to an area medical facility and the other was taken by ground ambulance in order to receive necessary treatment.

Additional information pertaining to this incident—including the identities of the victims—is not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

Any time a crash involves three vehicles—including an 18-wheeler—and sends multiple people to the hospital, investigators have a lot of moving parts to sort through. That’s especially true when it’s not yet clear how the sequence began or which driver’s actions set it in motion.

In multi-vehicle highway crashes, one of the key challenges is identifying the initial point of failure. Did one vehicle suddenly slow or swerve? Did a lane change or blind spot violation trigger a chain reaction? Was there a mechanical issue or distraction involved? These are the kinds of questions that can’t be answered without physical evidence and electronic data.

At this stage, it's not yet clear which vehicle struck which—or whether the truck was a contributing factor or simply caught up in a situation it couldn’t avoid. That distinction will matter a great deal in determining liability.

To get to the truth, investigators should examine:

• ECM and telematics from the truck, to reconstruct speed, braking, and driver input leading up to the crash;
• Dash cams or traffic camera footage, if available, which can clarify the timing and positioning of all three vehicles;
• Skid marks, debris fields, and point-of-impact damage, which help establish sequence of events;
• Driver statements and potential witness accounts, especially if one vehicle made a sudden maneuver or lane change;
• Lighting and traffic flow at that stretch of I-15, given the time of day and location near a state line.

In my experience, multi-vehicle highway crashes often stem from a single unsafe decision—but identifying that moment requires more than just post-crash photos. It requires a systematic review of physical evidence and electronic records, especially when a heavy truck is involved and injuries are significant.

Key Takeaways:

• Multi-vehicle crashes involving an 18-wheeler demand detailed reconstruction to determine sequence and fault.
• ECM data, dash cams, and impact analysis are essential for understanding how the wreck unfolded.
• It’s still unclear which vehicle initiated the chain of events—or whether the truck’s actions played a direct role.
• Identifying the point of first impact is critical to assigning legal responsibility among the parties involved.
• A thorough investigation should focus on timing, visibility, and whether any driver made a sudden or unsafe maneuver.
