Two southbound lanes of Interstate 15 were closed most of the afternoon after a man walking along the side of the highway was run over and killed.
The Nevada Highway Patrol closed two lanes shortly after 2 p.m. Traffic was still moving slowly at 4 p.m.
A man was run over by an 18-wheeler, which could not avoid the pedestrian, troopers said.
"We're investigating everything up to and including this may have been a deliberate act," Trooper Kevin Honea said.
Troopers discovered keys in the man's pants pocket that matched a pickup truck with California license plates parked a short distance away where the man was struck.
