One person is dead and another sustained minor injuries after a head-on crash near Sun Valley Saturday morning. 

At around 6:50am Saturday morning, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a head-on collision involving two vehicles on Highland Ranch Parkway.

One of the drivers was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after medical personnel arrived.

The other driver sustained minor injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment. 

It is unclear at this time if speed or impairment were factors in the crash and it is also unclear what lead up to the crash.

Highland Ranch Parkway was closed between Midnight Drive and Pyramid Highway as the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Major Accident Investigation Team (M.A.I.T.) continues its investigation but has since reopened. 

This is a developing story and we will update as we learn more.
