A fatal crash outside of Hawthorne involving multiple vehicles killed two people and left traffic backed up in both directions for hours.
According to reports, a passenger vehicle was traveling southbound on U.S. 95 south of Hawthorne near mile marker 39 and slowed down for an emergency vehicle before being hit from behind by a bus. The bus then went into the northbound lane and struck a vehicle traveling north, and then went off of the road and overturned and caught fire.
Two people died in the crash and two more were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
US-95 was closed in both directions until shortly before midnight.
