A rollover crash has killed one person on I-580 north near College Parkway in Carson City.Â
Nevada State Police says at approximately 4:56 a.m., Troopers with the Nevada State Police, Highway Patrol Division, responded to reports of a rollover crash on IR-580 at the northbound College Parkway Offramp.
NSP says the unidentified man was not wearing a seatbelt, and speeding likely contributed to the crash.Â
Preliminary investigation indicates the driver of a dark green 2005 Ford F-150 pickup was traveling north on I-580, south of College Parkway in the #2 travel lane.
The Ford drifted from the #2 travel lane, struck a metal paddle marker and continued north before striking the guardrail end. The vehicle overturned and the driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle.
The driver of the Ford (Michael Patrick Cobb, a 21-year-old Dayton resident) succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
