The driver, Christopher Shaw, 32, died at the scene, according to an NHP news release. The crash was reported Friday, May 7, 2021 at approximately 6:14 p.m.
A preliminary investigation shows that a blue 1998 Ford Expedition was traveling northbound on US-395 and exited the highway via the Stead Boulevard off-ramp at a high rate of speed, according to an NHP news release.
