Reno, Nev. – A crash that occurred around 11:30 a.m. on Monday on Highway 395 south of Oddie Boulevard has caused significant traffic delays. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) reports that the left lanes are currently closed as fire crews, Nevada Highway Patrol and the Regional Emergency Management Services Agency (REMSA) work at the scene.
Response and Safety Measures
First‑responders arrived promptly after the incident was reported. Fire crews are handling any potential fire hazards, while highway patrol officers are directing traffic and ensuring the safety of motorists. REMSA is coordinating the overall emergency response, providing additional resources as needed.
Impact on Drivers
With the left lanes shut, traffic is moving at a reduced pace, and congestion is building during the midday travel window. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, such as taking I‑80 east or west, or using local streets that run parallel to the affected stretch of Highway 395. Staying alert for posted signage and following the directions of law‑enforcement officers will help keep the flow as smooth as possible.
No Reported Injuries
At this time, officials have not released any information about injuries. The focus remains on clearing the crash site and reopening the closed lanes as quickly and safely as possible.
What Residents Can Do
Motorists traveling through the Reno area should check real‑time traffic updates via NDOT’s website or local news outlets before departing. If you must travel on Highway 395, allow extra time for the delay and be prepared for possible detours. The safety of the traveling public is the top priority, and officials will continue to monitor the situation until normal traffic conditions resume.
