A crash on Thursday in the northwest has left one person dead.
According to the Nevada Highway Patrol, the crash happened shortly after 5.30 p.m. near the off ramp of US 95 and W. Craig Road. A Lincoln Navigator was traveling south on US 95 when the driver, a 38 year old female, lost control and the SUV crashed into a fence and stopped in front of a storm drain.
NHP went on to say that she died at the scene and have not yet released her identity. Investigators suspect that she may have been impaired and reminded that especially in the holiday season, people should not get behind the wheel after they have been drinking, nor if impaired due to illegal drugs or prescription medication.
This was the 58th fatal crash Nevada Highway Patrol has investigated this year and the 28th involving fatality involving some sort of impairment.
