A crash earlier this month on Interstate 80 about 10 miles west of Battle Mountain left a woman dead after her car rolled onto the median.
Nevada State Police Highway Patrol Division says they responded to the report of a crash around 4:58 a.m. on November 2 near mile marker 57 in Humboldt County, where a burgundy 2001 Dodge pickup had overturned.
Investigators say the truck, traveling eastbound, left the right edge of the roadway and hit a reflective marker post. The driver then overcorrected left and crossed both eastbound lanes before leaving the road again.
Troopers say the driver overcorrected right and the left side tires dug into the ground, which caused the car to overturn.
The car came to rest on its wheels, partly on the median and inside shoulder.
Troopers say the driver, identified as Amanda Laray Roa, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the truck and pronounced dead at the scene.
Troopers with the Major Incident Reconstruction Team are handling the open investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Elko Office at 775-753-1111 or email ncemirt@dps.state.nv.us.
So far this year, Nevada State troopers with Central Command have investigated 25 fatal crashes resulting in 31 deaths.
