LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — A Nevada State Police trooper was injured in a hit-and-run on the I-15 late Tuesday night.

The crash occurred near Russell Road just after 11:40 p.m. The investigation shut down the freeway for hours.

Police say the driver ignored traffic control that was in place for an earlier crash that troopers were investigating near a construction zone.

The driver hit a patrol vehicle and fled the scene, according to the state police news release.

The trooper inside the vehicle was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver was later found and arrested for driving under the influence, police said.

Lanes have since reopened.
