The crash was reported about 7:30 p.m. between Charleston Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, Trooper Loy Hixson said.

One vehicle was blocking the left shoulder, two vehicles were blocking the right shoulder and the others were scattered between the travel lanes on the interstate, he said.

One center lane was open as of about 8:30 p.m., he said.

The cause of the crash has not yet been determined, he said.

Those incidents are minor, he said.
