FALLON, Nev. (KOLO) - A 70-year-old man from Fallon was killed in a crash earlier this month.

Just after 3:00 a.m. on Nov. 1, troopers with the Nevada Highway Patrol responded to a location of US50 in Lyon County between Silver Springs and Stagecoach for reports of a crash.

An initial investigation shows that a 2016 Ford Focus hatchback was headed east. At the same time, a 2023 Chevy Traverse was headed in the same direction in the same lane in front of the Ford.

NHP says the driver of the Ford failed to slow down and crashed into the rear of the Chevy, causing both vehicles to overturn.

The driver of the Chevy was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. The driver of the Ford, Jeffrey De Dual, succumbed to his injuries on Nov. 8.
