Two people tragically lost their lives following a crash in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Nevada State Police reported that the crash occurred on Nov. 14 at 2:50 p.m. on State Route 167, also known as Northshore Road, near mile marker 12.
Investigations revealed that the crash was between a freightliner commercial tractor/trailer and a Mini Cooper convertible. Both vehicles had been travelling southbound on Northshore Road when the Mini Cooper partially stopped and then made a u-turn in front of the tractor/trailer, causing the incident.
58-year-old Susan Fournier from Henderson was driving the Mini Cooper and her passenger was 60-year-old Diana Byrd from Las Vegas. Sadly, both were pronounced dead at the scene.
