US 93 to Las Vegas reopens after tanker crash in Arizona

PHOENIX — Those heading to Las Vegas from Arizona on Sunday had to find a different way to get there.

The Arizona Department of Transportation said Sunday that U.S. 93 North — the primary road between Sin City and Phoenix — was closed after a crash.

The closure lasted for hours. The lanes finally reopened early Monday.
