In a crash on Monday, October 16, two residents of Fallon died in a two-vehicle collision involving a semi-truck at Mclean Road and Casey Road in Churchill County.
Nevada State Police responded to the scene at approximately 9:52 a.m.
According to preliminary investigations, a 2006 Pontiac sedan was heading eastbound on Casey Road, nearing the intersection with Mclean Road. Simultaneously, a 1997 semi-truck and trailer were traveling northbound on Mclean Road, approaching the Casey Road intersection.
The Pontiac failed to halt at the stop sign on Casey Road, inadvertently entering the path of the oncoming semi-truck. The collision resulted in an impact on the right side of the Pontiac, propelling the sedan into a nearby water canal.
Both occupants of the Pontiac sedan, Sheryl Evans, 73, and Christopher Jenkins, 42, succumbed to their injuries at the scene, as confirmed by state police authorities.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
