Two people died in a crash involving a commercial vehicle and a gray Ford Fusion westbound I-80 near USA Parkway just before 6:50 p.m. on Monday, April 8.
The Nevada State Police (NSP) said the Fusion collided with the rear of the commercial vehicle, killing the driver and a passenger. A third passenger in the sedan received non-life-threatening injuries.
The Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims of the crash as 50-year-old Christa James and 12-year-old Raymond James, both residents of Wadsworth. The medical examiner’s office attributed their deaths to blunt force trauma sustained in the crash.
As a result of the crash, westbound I-80 near USA Parkway was temporarily closed during the NSP investigation into the incident.
In yet an earlier crash, this one around 7:06 p.m. on Saturday, March 30, 61-year-old Yerington resident Terri Lynn Gerbasi died on US95A near Lyon County mile marker 27, about eight miles south of Davis Station.
According to the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol, their investigation shows that a white Toyota Tacoma was traveling southbound on US95A when it veered off the roadway, re-entered, crossed both travel lanes, and overturned, coming to rest on its roof on the east shoulder.
