One person was confirmed dead after a Cybertruck caught fire in the valet area of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning.
The fire started around 8:40 a.m. near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sammy Davis Jr. Drive.
As a result of ongoing police activity, Fashion Show Drive was closed between Las Vegas Boulevard and Sammy Davis Jr. Drive.
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, video obtained by the local Arizona news station suggests that fireworks may have been inside the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Guests at the hotel, as well as those at nearby hotels, reported hearing a loud explosion, which they said was significantly louder than the previous night's fireworks.
Many guests staying at the hotel were initially not allowed to leave the lobby, but have since been moved outside for safety reasons.
Governor Joe Lombardo of Nevada has stated in X that he is working to provide the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) with all necessary resources in its response to the incident.
