One person was killed and six more hospitalized in a rollover accident north of Las Vegas on Interstate 15 Friday evening.

According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, a gold Chevrolet Blazer was traveling southbound on I-15 at mile marker 102 near Moapa when it hit the center median, rolled, and ejected six of the seven occupants. The seventh occupant was trapped in the rolled vehicle and needed to be pulled out by rescue crews.

One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, the rest were airlifted to a nearby hospital.

Although the crash is still being investigated, it has been suspected that separated tread from at least one of the tires caused the vehicle to roll.

Lanes were shut down for several hours to clean up the accident and search for anything that could give indications into the causes of the crash.
