NHP investigates fatal crash in Mound House on Highway 50
On Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at approximately 3:42 PM, NHP Troopers were dispatched to a serious injury crash involving two vehicles on US-50 and Highlands Drive in Mound House.
The preliminary investigation shows a green 1999 Honda CR-V and red 2011 Subaru Legacy were traveling eastbound on US-50. The Legacy slowed to make a right turn onto Highlands Drive.
For unknown reasons, the CR-V crossed into the travel lane occupied by the Legacy and struck the left rear of the vehicle.
The CR-V overturned several times, ejecting the driver and sole occupant, who was not wearing a seatbelt. The driver of the CR-V (Syrril Baker, a 73-year-old Silver Springs resident) was declared deceased at the scene.
