The Nevada Highway Patrol has identified the victim in a fatal crash that happened north of Ely last week.
It happened just after 12:45 a.m. on Friday, November 6, on U.S. 93 near White Pine County mile marker 63, according to a release from NHP.
A preliminary investigation shows that a black 2022 Chevrolet Suburban SUV was heading south on U.S. 93 in the southbound lane. It lost control, running off the road to the left, hitting an embankment, and flipping.
A passenger in the vehicle, identified as 55-year-old Patricia Castellanos of Jerome, Idaho, was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three juveniles in the SUV were taken to an area hospital, with one later flown to a Children’s hospital with life-threatening injuries.
