A man has died after two cars overturned in an early morning crash on US-50 near Lyon County mile marker 25, a stretch of highway between Silver Springs and Stagecoach.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said the crash happened around 3 a.m. on November 1.
According to the preliminary investigation, a 2016 Ford Focus hatchback was heading east in the right lane when it approached a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse ahead of it in the same lane.
The Ford allegedly failed to slow down and crashed into the rear of the Chevrolet, causing both cars to overturn.
